Prior to this win, Lee experienced back-to-back losses at the hands of Rafael dos Anjos and Al Iaquinta. While he has experienced some setbacks recently, he recently sought a fresh start at the famed Tristar gym in Montreal, Quebec, and if his win over Gillespie is any indication, the move is paying dividends. Lee, who previously competed for the interim lightweight title, is 18-5 overall.<\/p>\n<p>Oliveira, meanwhile, will enter this fight with Lee with a 28\u20138 overall record. He&#8217;s currently on an impressive, six-fight win-streak, most recently picking up stoppage wins over Nik Lentz and Jared Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of this Lee vs. Oliveira fight will be well positioned among the top contenders in the UFC lightweight division.<\/p>\n<p>This UFC Brasilia card will be co-headlined by a welterweight bout between former two-division title challenger Demian Maia and new welterweight contender Gilbert Burns.
