Sweet card.
Happy to have it be my first live event unless my grandmom’s viewing is that night. I could use the distraction.

Thanks man.
The worst part is it hasn’t happened yet. For 10 days it’s been an inevitable “any day now” with no hope of a turn around. She has a DNR, no life support, etc.

Barboza took a beating his last fight, we will see if he lost any confidence himself. Lee has wrestling so hopefully barboza worked on his tdd because he had some holes in it against Khabib

Flip side, Kevin Lee has never beaten a top divisional striker he's 0-3 right now (Ferguson, Iaquinta, Santos). He's a great wrestler but I think this is the turning point fight for him. We find out if he was on a hot streak and now that he's not going to be champion he can still fight or if he's an elite LW.

Santos isn't even a striker either, he's another high level grappler who just out-struck and stopped Lee.

Lee has genuinely improved his striking over the past few months. That being said,
defensively
its still poor & he arguably has the worst chin of all the 20 year old Top15 fighters on the UFC roster. Lucky for Kevin, Edson is (obviously) more known for his kicks than his hands. A winnable fight for Kevin. If I made the odds, Lee would be a slight dog.
Think it wont be hard to predict his gameplan. Do what Khabib did, Finish him on the ground, call out Khabib, brag about how he did what Khabib couldn't, leap frog everyone for a title shot.
I say the deeper it goes, the more in Barboza's favor it becomes. I think Kevin is getting sick of this cut. And when Kevin fatigues, he becomes a desperation wrestler.
Interesting fight to see who remains relevant inside the Top10. As a main event tho??? Not a fan of that decision. Kevin "The NoDraw Phenom" Lee should not be headlining any more cards. At least for now

Certainly not over Edgar/Swanson.
