American UFC lightweight Kevin Lee once again announced his desire to revenge the first defeat in his professional career to champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in his weight.
"The UFC did not offer me a substitute for the injured Ferguson, since I would have accepted this fight without hesitation. In any case, our fight with Nurmagomedov will take place, everything in its time. Iaquinta did not want to fight Khabib, which we saw in the duel.
"Al went out for the purse, and din not even try to win. Even an unprepared opponent showed many holes in the Khabib's style, which really shocked many. I want to fight Nurmagomedov and have long been asking for this fight. I'll beat Barboza much more than Khabib did, and then let's organize our fight. I want to be the first fighter to beat him," Lee said in an interview with MMAjunkie.
In the coming weekend, Lee will fight with the dangerous Brazilian hitter Edson Barboza.
