Kevin Lee reacts to ‘sh*t fight’ at UFC on ESPN 30; Dana White uncertain if future is ‘here or not here’
Kevin Lee didn’t say much after his UFC on ESPN 30 loss but did express dejection in a one-liner shortly thereafter.
Originally scheduled to face Sean Brady, Lee (18-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) instead fought short-notice replacement Daniel Rodriguez (16-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC). After a strong first round, he was picked apart en route to a unanimous decision defeat Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
“Well, that was a sh*t fight,” Lee said, while he sported some damage to his nose in a short video posted to his Instagram story.
Lee, who has gone 1-4 in his most recent five fights, did not provide any insight into his next move. A former interim UFC lightweight title challenger, Lee has bounced between lightweight and welterweight through his struggles in recent years.
At a UFC on ESPN 30 post-fight news conference, MMA Junkie asked Dana White if he had any early hunches as to Lee’s future, but the promotion’s president indicated he’s undecided.
“That’s a good question,” White said. “Again, that’s a thing that we will get together on Tuesday and talk about and figure out what’s next for him – here, or not here.”
Dana White will soon determine the future of Kevin Lee – “Here or not here.”
