It was a battle befitting of two elite fighters who were determined to prove that their name belongs on the short list in the UFC’ deepest division.
Kevin Lee and Al Iaquinta both came into their UFC on FOX 31 main event as winners in five of their past six fights, meaning the victor in this bout, the final FOX network fight in the UFC’s seven-year deal with the company, would be well-positioned for a run toward the title.
In the end, Iaquinta was the fighter who emerged with his biggest career victory.
