Kevin Lee thinks ‘smart’ manager pulled Khabib to keep undefeated record intact

UFC lightweight prospect Kevin “The Motown Phenom” Lee has won three straight inside of the Octagon, including back-to-back finishes of Jake Matthews and Magomed Mustafaev. Lee is now slated to square off with the 21-4 veteran Francisco Trinaldo this Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 106 in Fortaleza, Brazil. On location in South America, Kevin Lee caught up with Bloody Elbow to discuss scoring a technical submission in his last fight, his thoughts on his opponent Trinaldo, and the real reason he thinks Khabib Nurmagomedov pulled out of UFC 209.
