MILWAUKEE – It’s been nearly five years since Kevin Lee made his debut in the UFC – with a loss to Al Iaquinta . Saturday, the lightweights will run it back, and Lee says there’s no real reason to look back at the unanimous decision loss he suffered at UFC 169. “I don’t even really look at that fight anymore as a building block,” Lee told MMAjunkie today after an open workout for fans in Milwaukee. “I’m a completely different fighter. I’ve had 12 fights since then and taken on much bigger challenges and I feel like I’m getting better and better each fight, and Al is just another stepping stone into that.” Related Al Iaquinta welcomes Max Holloway to lightweight, but wants spotlight back at UFC on FOX 31 UFC on FOX 31 main event breakdown: Expect Iaquinta-Lee rematch to be ultra-competitive Lee (17-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and Iaquinta (13-4-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) headline UFC on FOX 31, which takes place Saturday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
