‘The MoTown Phenom’ did hint that his promotional debut would come against Diego Sanchez, speaking with Cole Shelton of BJPENN.com he said:

“They spoke to me about Diego Sanchez, so I might go ahead and do that one… The first Ultimate Fighter is known for putting on great fights, he’s going to go out there swinging and you know you’ll get a great fight out of him.” Kevin Lee said. “He’s not afraid to fight anybody, it just makes a lot of sense, it makes sense for him, it makes sense for me. We’ll probably get that one done.”

Diego Sanchez, (30-13 MMA), last competed back in September of 2020 at UFC 253 where he lost by unanimous decision to Jake Matthews (17-5 MMA). The former UFC lightweight title challenger, who went 3-2 in his past five fights, had his contract terminated by the UFC in April of 2021.
