Kevin Lee has a date and an opponent for his return to action following a year-plus on the sidelines.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Lee and Sean Brady is being targeted for UFC 264. Verbal agreements are in place for the welterweight bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. ESPN was first to report the booking.
Lee is set to compete for the first time since suffering a third-round submission loss to Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC Brasilia in March 2020.
