UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley previously voiced out what he believed was racism within MMA. This led him to believe that he is the “worst-treated champion in the history of the UFC.”
Fellow African-American fighter Kevin Lee, however, has a somewhat different outlook. In his appearance on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, the number 11-ranked lightweight contender understands that race does contribute in fighter promotion.
“Look, I had these same conversations with UFC, and I’m just letting you know because I’m talking to you right now,” Lee said (transcription via MMA Mania).
