Kevin Lee would prefer to fight Khabib over McGregor because fans think Khabib is ‘unstoppable’

Top-five UFC lightweight contender Kevin Lee currently has former champion Anthony Pettis in his crosshairs, but ‘The Motown Phenom’ is also interested in a fight with undefeated wrecking machine Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is scheduled to defend his title against Conor McGregor on Oct. 6.

Lee, who made mince meat of Edson Barboza earlier this year at UFC Fight Night 128, would prefer to fight Khabib over McGregor because of the Dagestani’s feared reputation as an ‘unstoppable tank’. ‘The Eagle’ is undefeated after twenty six professional fights and has steamrolled most of his opponents inside the Octagon.
