Former UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee is now set to begin his second stint with the promotion. In February, Lee (19-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) agreed to return to the UFC after just one fight outside of the promotion, where he defeated UFC Hall of Famer Diego Sanchez at Eagle FC 46. At the time of the announcement of Lee’s return, no opponent was announced, although his first bout was expected to take place in Spring 2023. Now, “The Motown Phenom” has a date and an opponent.
