Switching divisions was no solution, so Kevin Lee has a hard truth to face
Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports Kevin Lee lost via fourth-round submission to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC Rochester.If you self-imposed a 10-minute limit on your MMA main-event viewing, you would be forgiven if you had concluded sometime in the last year or so that Kevin Lee was one of the best fighters on earth. For about two rounds — sometimes just a shade less — Lee is a hurtling asteroid. He throws heat, he speeds along at supersonic limits, he threatens to vaporize most everything in his path. It’s intense power, from bell to bell. Clearly, this is a man giving every bit of energy in pursuit of victory. As a fan, you cannot ask for more.
