Kevin Lee (20-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) began his journey in the sport’s top promotion by way of an appearance during the undercard of UFC 169 on Feb. 1, 2014, dropping a unanimous decision after 15 minutes to “Raging” Al Iaquinta (14-7-1 MMA, 9-6 UFC) inside Prudential Center on the eve of Super Bowl XLVIII. Since that night, his eighth professional appearance in the sport, he’s had some ups and downs.
Numerically speaking, Kevin Lee’s longest winning streak in MMA was a five-fight stint between April 16, 2016 and June 25, 2017 before coming out on the losing end of a third-round submission by way of triangle choke against “El Cucuy” Tony Ferguson (25-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) during the UFC 216 main event for the promotion’s interim lightweight championship.
