“The fight on Saturday, I still feel like we won. I fought a lot on my back foot as a southpaw and against my natural fighting style. My style is explosive, coming forward and being aggressive. I tried to show something a little different. Al showed, he had a great performance, he got a great chance in the fourth round. All I can say is: I will be back, I will still be champion no matter where I am or what I am,” Lee posted.
Kevin Lee had a chance to win the interim lightweight belt at UFC 216 in October last year. However, the North American was submitted with a triangle at 4:02 of the third round by Tony Ferguson. Since then, 'Motown Phenom' has had one victory and one defeat in his career of 21 fights.
