The day before his UFC Atlantic City win over Edson Barboza, lightweight contender Kevin Lee missed weight for the first time in his six-year MMA career.
Lee tipped the scales at 157 pounds at UFC Atlantic City’s official weigh-ins, one pound heavier than the 156-pound lightweight limit allotted for non-title fights. Per the rules of the New Jersey State Athletic Commission Boxing — the regulatory body which oversaw the event — Lee was not allowed any additional time to cut weight, was fined 20 percent of his show purse, and the fight proceeded at a catchweight at the agreement of Barboza.
