Kevin Lee celebrated his (eventually) successful UFC 216 weigh-in with some tiramisu
Filed under: Blue Corner, Featured Videos, News, UFC
Kevin Lee clearly has no worries about the fact he nearly missed weight for his interim UFC lightweight championship fight with Tony Ferguson on Saturday at UFC 216.
After declaring he had 19 pounds to lose following an indulgence of some tiramisu less than 24 hours ahead of the official UFC 214 weigh-in, Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) came in one pound overweight for his bout with Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC). He was given an additional hour to shed the final pound, and with just minutes remaining managed to hit the mark.
Lee immediately brushed off any speculation he wouldn’t ultimately make weight, posting on social media that he “ain’t no bitch.” He celebrated his successful weigh-in at dinner on Friday, too, once again eating some tiramisu (via Twitter):
UFC 216 takes place tonight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lee vs. Ferguson headlines the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
