After seven years and 18 fights in the UFC, former interim title challenger Kevin Lee was released from the roster. The 29-year-old “Motown Phenom” had only won two out of his last six fights in 2018, which included two stints at welterweight.
Lee has so far remained silent about this recent career development, but his manager Marquel Martin gave a statement to MMA Junkie on Tuesday, the same day the news broke. According to him, Lee still had “multiple fights” left on his contract at the time of his release.
He also thinks it was a wrong move from the company’s end.
