Filed under: Blue Corner , Featured Videos , News , UFC Kevin Lee provided a major scare today when he nearly missed weight for Saturday’s UFC 216 interim lightweight title fight and headliner against Tony Ferguson . After coming in heavy for his first attempt, Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) managed to hit the championship 155-pound limit on his second try, which made his showdown with Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) official. UFC 216 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass, official. It was a dramatic few hours as the world watched closely to see if Lee would make weight. Once he did, he posted a blunt message – with a somewhat trollish hashtag – on Twitter : Told y'all I ain't no bitch. #scaredyadidntI — Kevin MTP Lee (@MoTownPhenom) October 6, 2017 I'm willing to die bout this shit.
