News Fighter Kevin Lee is back!!

Remember when everyone doubted he could beat gellipsi and then he head kick koed him?

I member

Dana should have took him up on the contender series offer I would have loved to see it and it would have put a bunch of new eyes on the show

Maybe at the time trinaldo was regarded higher but Mathews and magomedov are not very good and effrain? C'mon, Mike I don't thinks great either but he's the best out of those 5, I'll give you barboza though I thought he was going to fuck up Lee.

I guess it's really the "athletic ability" everyone always points out, I think that shit is way over valued in mma as that gets said a lot but fighters who didn't turn out to be anything special.

His ko of Gregor was awesome but I didn't buy that Weinerbutts hype either.

I never mentioned Efrain for a reason.

Trinaldo was on an 8-fight win streak and kind of hitting his late-prime as a veteran, Magomed a 12-fight win-streak even though not against the most elite was also a dangerous physical specimen, and he also embarrassed Chisea with that first round RNC he tried to go "limp" to fight out of lol (not much "revenge" for the Mom comment eh?).

Funny that you agree about the "athletic ability" and yet other guys here will say his cardio is shit and he wasn't that great an athlete somehow. That's why I said he had at on of "athletic potential" because if you don't build the skills to maximize it a lot of the time you become over-reliant on it and once it declines ever-so-slightly your game can fall to pieces.

Legendary KO over Gregor, everyone gots to at least give the man props for that shit....also the chicken-dance Meme from the wheel-kick Barboza hit him with was a hilarious SHOOP thread on the forums.

The guy gave us a ton of entertaining fights against top fighters win or lose, I'd like to remember him for that and not just being a disappointment (though he ultimately was because as I said, he did have a lot of potential at a young age in the game).

He beat some high level guys. You're a hater. He accomplished more in a short time than you could in several life times.

The forums are a place where people get the opportunity to say things they would never feel confident saying to a fighter, so they can be as cruel as they want with as much insulting hyperbole as they feel is warranted since there are no real repercussions except other posters disagreeing with them.

My rule of thumb is typically "if I wouldn't say it to a fighter's face then I'm not going to post it here" as a modality to have a modicum of respect for the fact that these men and women are literally killing themselves for our entertainment.

Sadly that perspective is far from the norm - far too many keyboard warriors here that love to shit on fighters putting their health/lives on the line to amuse us behind the safety of their keyboard.

By all means let's be hyper-critical and point out all flaws and short-comings that we perceive, but we should refrain ourselves from being cruel, vicious haters that seemingly take joy in watching others fall short in something we'd never have half the balls to even attempt, let alone excel at.

Kevin Lee proving that he is serious about working his way back to the UFC by taking a fight on the regional scene vs Thiago Oliveira, where he emerged victorious, defeating his opponent by RNC @ 1:58 of the opening round. He is rumored to have a follow up bout signed with Gamebred FC (Bareknuckle MMA) on 15 Nov 2024. Let's show him our support by leaving a like, laugh or heart on this thread😘

Yeah.. Him fighting bare knuckle next might not go so well.
But at least I am interested.
Was it cuckoo barnyard fighting?
 
Thanks for putting some respect on his hame and not call him just Kevin Lee.
He back, war FKL!
