News Kevin Lee announces his retirement in Instagram video - post your memories here!

So long Kevin Lee! People please post your favorite memories of him in here if possible.

Good for him.

I'm someone who's been calling him a journeyman for a long time (because he is). But props to anyone sensible enough to know when enough is enough. He did fight a lot of tough guys, he just didn't win against most of them. He came up in lightweight when it really was a shark tank. Not the BMF rematch circus it is now.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

He's gonna be known as RFKL (Retired Fighter Kevin Lee)

 

[Last Falconry]

Knowing when to call it a day is an underrated skill. Most people don't have it, least of all professional fighters

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Good for him on realizing it was time. On to the next endeavor.

Good luck FKL!

 

[usernamee]

gets a lot of hate and ridicule but really seems like a nice bloke

hopefully it's a real retirement and he finds something new that he can be passionate about and has meaning to him (and not bare knuckle in 8 months)

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Nice lil video, sincere guy.

Good for you FKL, the desire to help others is great one, more power to you.

“hmu let’s work time to give my body a break”

Does anybody know what that means?

And thanks for having a vacuum or some shit running right behind the camera. I loved that part.

I picked Gregor to beat Lee. And we know how that went down. Congrats to Lee.

Does anybody think he signs for at least one fight in the BKFC?

Best of luck in the future.

 

[Georges Hefner]

good riddance. He won’t be missed

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

Cheers FKL
Once you were good

I was never a fan but Lee was so underrated for how skilled he was.
Lee smashed Barboza, Chiesa, Mathews and Gillepse and he also gave RDA, Olivera and T-Ferg tough fights before his cardio gave out. Lee had the skills of an elite fighter it's just a shame he seemed to really fall mentally out of his prime before he was able to solve his cardio issues. Lee was an American wrestler in a era where only the Russian wrestlers have the cardio figured out.

Get out before your body and brains get wrecked - smart move.
All the best for the future to Kevin Lee.

 

[Goatenstein]

He participates in a fight of some sort within the next 12 months.

People hated him a lot. He didn't deserve that much, he was overconfident but it's ok he's a fighter he's supposed to be.

Anyway best memories of him:

1- Chiesa altercation at press conference
2- High kick KO of Gillespie
3- Title fight with Ferguson
4- Chicken dance against Barboza then winning the fight

We will never forget this masterpiece Kevin gave us!!

 

[Fossor]

Win or lose I enjoyed his fights. He's still young, no need to get cte.
Good luck FKL!

Good for him. Made a name for himself young, got title fight, and a good highlight KO at MSG. They can't all become champs and the fight game is brutal. Better to leave with all your faculties in tact.
