Keith Lee has been anxious to get a fight. In the meantime, he’s been making the most out of learning and growing in the gym. Lee recently made the trip to Tristar in Montreal, along with older brother and lightweight contender Kevin Lee, to get some training in with legendary trainer Firas Zahabi. And Lee says that training in Montreal had the same impact on him as it did on his brother Kevin, who scored a first-round knockout over formerly undefeated Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244, in a “Performance of the Night”-winning effort. “Coming from Firas’ camp, I honestly think that it made a huge impact in me, and him,” Lee told MMA Junkie. “You could see it with him, but when I get the opportunity, I will show it.” Related Ahead of big bro's UFC headliner, listen to prospect Keith Lee's 10-on-1 street-fight story Stream or download MMAjunkie Radio #2655 with Jon Anik and Keith Lee “Firas is a genius, he had so many different game plans and so many different ways of thinking, that I’ve never seen before, and for a young guy, I’m only 23, I have a lot of experience in this game and I’ve never seen anybody that thinks like him, or that can process information how he does and you can see the difference that it made just in one fight with Kevin
