Kevin Lee Exposes UFC for Handpicking Chinny Old Cerrone for Conor's Tuneup Fight

[ReadWrite]

“I ain’t been impressed with nothing in the UFC for a minute,” Kevin Lee said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “This s**t it’s starting to get a little wack, to be honest with you. And Conor is up there with it. . . . He got the job done, he got the money.

“But, to me, he fought a guy that was tailor-picked for him. He [was] hand-picked for him and was chinny. Anytime you go down by a shoulder strike, and it really stings you . . . This ain’t even the slick Cowboy. (I am not one of those people that think Cowboy laid down.)

“But, if a shoulder is hurting you, that means your chin is gone and they already knew that. So, I’m not impressed. I am a little irritated by it, to be honest with you.

“When I gotta go to the grocery store yesterday, and hear people talk about, "Oh, he did that to Cowboy’ . . . 'Oh, he’s back!' . . . blah, blah blah. . . Come on, man.

“We [are] out here really fighting. To me, I’m really fighting. I had my comeback fight in November, and I took on an undefeated guy. I didn’t take on someone that is a little over the hill.”

Kevin Lee actually made sense.

Maybe he has changed since becoming a fighter.

lee has a good point, no way the fight was fixed but today´s cowboy is washed up. Those fights vs ferguson and gaethje have took a toll on him and his chin. Cowboy has been finished on 5 of his last 11 fights.

[ScarfaceJr]

Mcgregor vs Cerrone is what is known in boxing as a "showcase fight". I think it accomplished their goal

Yes BUT in boxing Showcase fights are shown and known to be showcase fights. The fact that Dana White is saying that Conor is getting a TS soon when he hasn’t won a fight against a contender of note in such a long time means that this isn’t one.

[KantoTerror]

Bernie Sanders picked the right guy to represent him...that fighter Kevin Lee got this...

 

[huhwhat]

conor's fans don't know that, believe me they dont and they won't, they are too dumb lmao

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Kevin Lee would murder Conor

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Took a spinning heel kick from Barboza and lived to tell the tale

How many other fighters have done that ?

 

[frontkick1]

Still he managed to get the finish right after that which tells us something on his mental toughness, something mcg has never shown let alone Cerrone

 

[Istryker]

he won that fight

 

[Krixes]

Lee has top notch wrestling but that's it. Dude got lit up by Raging Al.....
