Keith Lee, Kevin Lee’s brother, signs multi-fight Bellator deal, debut set

Kevin Lee’s brother will soon get a taste of the bright lights.

The younger brother of the UFC lightweight contender, Keith Lee, has signed a multi-fight Bellator contract and is set to debut on Feb. 21 at Bellator 239 in Thackerville, Okla.

Lee will take on Bellator veteran Shawn Bunch in a bantamweight contest.

Lee (5-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) has been fighting professionally since 2017 after going 4-0 as an amateur. The 23-year-old is currently on a two-fight win streak, which followed a two-fight skid of split decision losses. Lee last fought in December where he submitted Leonardo Carvalho.

Welcoming Lee to Bellator will be Bunch (9-4 MMA, 6-3 BMMA), who looks to bounce back from a submission loss to Leandro Higo in September. Prior to the loss, the NCAA Division I All-American and U.S. Olympic alternate wrestler was on a five-fight winning streak, which included a victory over former Bellator champ Joe Warren.

The Bellator 239 main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie. With the addition, the updated Bellator 239 card includes:

  • Yaroslav Amosov vs. Ed Ruth
  • Brandon Girtz vs. Myles Jury
  • Tyrell Fortune vs. Timothy Johnson
  • Cris Lencioni vs. Salim Mukhidinov
  • Denise Kielholtz vs. Kristina Williams
  • Keith Lee vs. Shawn Bunch

Max Holloway’s coach believes Ilia Topuria’s style works in their favor.
