Didn’t Kevin Lee just get strangled in his last fight?

To be fair he was pretty ill for that fight, wasn't he?

Yeas but his game plan was rather shit. Burn out in the first and hope for the best isn't exactly champion level strategy.

Burn out in the first was due to illness. That's my point.

I get that. He could have done better healthy but that doesn't make what he did any smarter.

Chiesa was a good win, maybe controversial, but it was either that or he'd go to sleep.

But did he go to sleep? Did he tap? Chiesa biggest win of his career is over Beneil Dariush..... there's a reason why some of these guys don't flourish in the big fights and that's because you have the top 5 of the division who are the actual elite, and the bottom 10 of the rankings are mere journeymen. Solid fighters but they aren't championship caliber, at least right now. That's how I feel about Chiesa and Lee

Who?

From a guy who looked terrible in his last fight, not exactly fighting talk

Fergy exposed Kevin Lee as a chump. He doesn't belong at the top with the big dogs. If he wants a fight with Gaethje then he must want an early exit from the UFC. Gaethje would maul Kevin Lee inside a round or two.

I don't agree. When you're sick and you know you can't go five rounds no matter what, you pretty much have to get the early finish. He went all in and it failed, but that doesn't mean going all in wasn't the right call in that situation. It's like when Lesnar tried to bum rush Velasquez. Sure, it made him gas in about 40 seconds, but he was never going to outlast Cain. He made his best attempt at the only path to victory he had.
