Former interim UFC lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee maintains that he is “still fighting” in mixed martial arts competition amid his latest injury layoff, dispelling a retirement from combat sports at just 31 years of age.
Lee, a former interim lightweight title challenger in the UFC, made his return to the Octagon back in July of last year at the Apex facility, following a prior one-fight stint in the Khabib Nurmagomedov-backed Eagle FC.
Suffering a devastating 55-second technical submission loss via guillotine choke, Lee was dropped early on the feet by Rinat Fakhretdinov, before he was stopped, sending him for his third loss in four most recent outings.
