Kevin Lee unsure on retirement from MMA after UFC return: ‘Right now, it’s gonna be about getting the surgery’

Despite recently announcing his decision to retire from mixed martial arts competition following a brutal UFC Vegas 76 loss to Rinat Fakhretdinov earlier this month, former interim lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee appears to be less than certain that his decision to hang up his gloves will be a permanent one.

Lee, a former interim lightweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, made his second Octagon debut earlier this month at UFC Vegas 76, taking on surging welterweight prospect, Fakhretdinov.

Dropping a spectacular first round submission loss, Missouri veteran, Lee was dropped in the opening exchanges with a massive straight punch, before he was then submitted with a guillotine choke in the opening minute of the first round.
