Former interim UFC lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee managed to return to winning-ways — in rather hasty fashion over the course of the weekend at a Lights Out Championship event in his native Michigan, landing a first round rear-naked choke submission success against Thiago Oliveira.

Lee, a former perennial contender at the lightweight limit and a former interim championship challenger under the banner of the UFC, snapped a retirement of sorts over the weekend in his clash with Oliveira, laying quick waste to the former Bellator MMA fighter with a rear-naked choke win inside just two minutes of the opening round.
