Last night, in the main event of the action-packed UFC Milwaukee card, Kevin Lee came up short for a second time against Al Iaquinta, giving up a hard-fought unanimous decision to his rival.<\/p>\n
Post-fight, a distraught Kevin Lee admitted that this loss to Al Iaquinta has him considering a move up to the 170-pound welterweight division, where he would have to endure a less taxing weight cut.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might be time for me to make that change,\u201d Lee said after his loss (transcript via MMAjunkie<\/a>). \u201cI knew it about a year ago, but I\u2019m a real stubborn son of a b***h, so I\u2019m just going to try to make as many adjustments as I can and make it as clean as I can, but it still is very rough for me to get down to this weight. Maybe now it\u2019s time to just go up and look at other options.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I can compete very, very well at 170 and be fast in and out of the pocket, too,” he added. “I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll see as I kind of get healed up and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n While Kevin Lee seems to like his chances in the UFC welterweight division, Colby Covington, one of the division’s top fighters, was quick to warn him to think twice.<\/p>\n Covington issued his warning to Lee on Twitter on Sunday.<\/p>\n .@motownphenom<\/a> consider hitting your little baby nuts with a sledge hammer too, cause it's a better option than fighting real men at 170 junior. #ufcmilwaukee<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Tu26zNSpN5<\/a><\/p>\n — Colby Covington (@ColbyCovMMA) December 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
