Following his decision to retire from mixed martial arts competition following his return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 76 earlier this month, former interim lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee has revealed he laments a failed clash with former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor during his initial stint with the promotion.
Lee, who made his Octagon return at UFC Vegas 76 just earlier this month, suffered his third consecutive loss inside the Octagon, dropping a first round guillotine choke defeat to Rinat Fakhretdinov in the opening minute of their welterweight clash.
Last year, the Missouri native headlined a Eagle FC event hosted by former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov at the super lightweight limit of 165lbs against The Ultimate Fighter winner, Diego Sanchez – landing a decision win over the New Mexico veteran.
