Kevin Lee: Someone May Have to Die Cutting Weight in the UFC Before Something Changes

Like many fighters, Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight contender Kevin Lee is hoping something is done sooner rather than later to address the weight cutting issues that have affected increasing numbers of fighters and matchups recently. Lee has been vocal about the need to introduce additional weight classes to help alleviate some of these issues so fighters do not feel the need to take extreme measures just to make weight.

The 25 year-old appeared on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour and told host Luke Thomas that he is frustrated by the lack of action to address the weight cutting issues.
