Ex-UFC star Kevin Lee set for fighting return, inks deal to compete in the PFL

Former interim UFC lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee once more seems geared up for his return to mixed martial arts, inking a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters League).

Lee, who most recently competed back in September of last year on home soil, returned to winning-ways in a first round rear-naked choke submission win over Thiago Oliveira under the banner of Lights Out Championship.
