A pair of former lightweight standouts will square off at welterweight in the main event of UFC Rochester.
The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed to the Democrat and Chronicle on Wednesday that Rafael dos Anjos will meet Kevin Lee in a 170-pound affair at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., on May 18. UFC Rochester airs in its entirety on ESPN+ and will also include a women’s bantamweight tilt pitting Aspen Ladd against Sijara Eubanks.
A former UFC lightweight champion, dos Anjos began his welterweight tenure with successive triumphs against Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny and Robbie Lawler.
