As BJ Penn, former UFC interim lightweight title contender reports Kevin Lee Eagle FC will debut on March 11 in Miami. The highly experienced veteran Diego Sanchez will oppose him.
Lee, 29, (18-7) has suffered five defeats and two wins in his last seven bouts. He spent his last fight on August 28, losing on points to Daniel Rodriguez. In early December, the American was fired from the UFC, and two weeks later he signed a contract with Eagle FC.
The 39-year-old Sanchez (30-13) left the UFC in May of this year after playing for fifteen years in American promotions. In his last bout, last September, Diego lost a decision to Jake Matthews.
