UFC on ESPN+ 9 poster released: Rafael dos Anjos and Kevin Lee’s faces are front and center
The UFC is coming to Rochester, New York, for the first time next month, and now the event has an official poster.
UFC on ESPN+ 9 takes place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena and will stream entirely on ESPN+.
In the main event, a pair of former lightweights will do battle at welterweight as ex-champion Rafael dos Anjos, who transitioned to 170 pounds in 2017, welcomes Kevin Lee for his debut in the division. Hope you like their faces, because they are featured prominently on the official UFC on ESPN+ 9 poster, which you can check out here:
