A lot has changed since the first fight between Kevin Lee and Al Iaquinta. Buried on the UFC 169 undercard, the two future headliners went back and forth in a closely contested fight. Lee, 21 at the time with a 7-0 pro record, was making his Octagon debut. Iaquinta, a few months shy of his 27th birthday, was slightly more experienced on the big stage.
