Kevin Lee: ‘I’m going to be somebody who’s unafraid’ to wrestle with Khabib

Through 28 opponents (12 in the UFC), undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has yet to face a challenger who can deal him his first loss. Kevin Lee, however, believes he’d be able to pull it off.

For “The Motown Phenom”, it all comes down to using offensive wrestling when fighting “The Eagle,” which he sees no one doing.

“When you’re going against somebody and you don’t have that wrestling background that he has, it could be that guys are just afraid to engage in the wrestling,” Lee told MMA Junkie in a recent phone interview.
