Kevin Lee is fighting for more than just a paycheck on Sunday night.
The 24-year-old fighter is set to compete in the headlining slot of UFC Fight Night 112 against The Ultimate Fighter 15 winner Michael Chiesa, who currently sits at No. 8 in the UFC lightweight rankings. The winner of the 155-pound contest could very well position himself as a top contender in the division.
Fighting in the main event of UFC card for the first time and doing it against a top-10 opponent, there’s no doubt this is the biggest fight of Lee’s young MMA career.
