Although a fight against Justin gaethje, currently number three in the ranking, Charles will, against Lee, have the opportunity to finally be among the top 10 athletes in the category dominated by Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Against Do Bronx, the American will try to start a winning streak since returning to lightweight after having unsuccessfully tested himself in the welterweight category (up to 77kg). Kevin is coming off a great triumph over Gregor Gillespie, in November, at UFC 244, in a confrontation that put him back on the division's radar.
Charles, in turn, is going through a great moment in his career. Coming from six positive results in a row, the São Paulo native will try, 'at home', to continue his journey in the hunt for a chance to compete for the title in the future. In his last commitment, Do Bronx raised awareness among the public present at the Ibirapuera Gymnasium, for UFC Sao Paulo, by defeating, by knockout, Jared gordon.
At 30 years old, the Brazilian will complete his 38th career fight against Lee. In total, the combatant has 28 triumphs, eight defeats and one unsuccessful fight.
Kevin, on the other hand, is 27 years old and, since debuting as a professional in MMA, he has won 18 victories in 23 official appearances.
