Kevin Jesse Lee Jr.

In the early 2010s, only dedicated MMA fans knew about Kevin Lee, carefully tracking the birth of new stars in the ring of MMA. Today, Kevin Lee is a shining name in the list of the best athletes in mixed martial arts, as evidenced by his meetings in the ring with such recognized stars as Tony Ferguson and Michael Chiesa.

Kevin Jesse Lee Jr. is an American by nationality. Born in Michigan in early September 1992. Early childhood was spent in the second largest city in the state - Grand Rapids, but Kevin grew up in poor areas of Detroit, where drug trafficking flourished, and with the advent of dusk, not every daredevil dared to walk the streets.

The biography of the future UFC star has developed well thanks to the right priorities that Kevin Jesse Lee chose in his youth.

In an interview, a black fighter shared how he avoided the prospect of going to prison and got out of poverty. Lee understood in time who did not need to imitate and what to strive for. The young man became interested in basketball as a child, and in high school became addicted to wrestling.

Having entered the university, Kevin Lee became a participant in almost all student competitions and even passed the selection of the national championship. For two years the young fighter performed at the university level, then switched from hand-to-hand fighting to mixed martial arts.

With a height of 1.75 m, Kevin's weight does not exceed 70 kg. At the same time, the arm span reaches 1.96 m. The top lightweight fell in love with the world of MMA thanks to Georges Saint-Pierre and BJ Penn, whom fans call the best athletes in welterweight and lightweight. Kevin Lee calls his idol Floyd Mayweather. As a “legacy” from the legendary boxer, Kevin inherited the style of clothing: like Mayweather, he loves colorful shirts and elaborate glasses.

Lee made his professional debut in MMA in the spring of 2012. Then Kevin snatched the victory from the opponent, which was unanimously recognized by all the judges. He “stuffed his hand” and honed his skills in small promotions in America and Canada.

In November 2013, the Michigan native won the TWC Lightweight Championship, drawing the attention of the UFC, the world's largest fighting organization. In the winter of 2014, the professional made his debut in the octagon, where he met with a serious rival Al Iaquinta. Lee was defeated, but did not give up immediately, losing after the 3rd round.

The first failure in my career forced me to gather strength for a breakthrough and redouble my efforts in training. Soon the efforts were crowned with triumph: Lee won four victories in a row. In October 2017, Kevin Lee won the right to challenge the interim UFC lightweight title, which was introduced due to the fact that the reigning champion Conor McGregor did not defend the champion belt for a long time. Lee's rival was Tony Ferguson.

The championship fight between compatriots ended in defeat for Kevin: Tony fought desperately with a worthy opponent and managed to break the resistance in the 3rd round, capturing Lee in a suffocating triangle.

In 2018, the lightweight MMA pro lost for the second time to Iaquinta. Khabib Nurmagomedov responded to the event, advising Lee "to remain modest", because "modesty is the key to victory." Kevin on Instagram answered loudly:

In the spring of 2018, the American faced off against the Brazilian Edson Barboza. The grueling fight lasted 5 rounds with varying success. In the 3rd round, Kevin barely kept his feet from a powerful blow to the head, but managed to withstand. In the final five minutes, Barbosa was severely injured and, at the insistence of the doctor, left the battle. Lee won by technical knockout.

On a verified page on Instagram, Kevin Lee shares with an audience of thousands of subscribers mostly photos from the last battles. But the resource also has pictures of Kevin as a child. The fighter has a Twitter account, which he pays less attention to than Instagram, where the events of the star in his personal life are traced.

Subscribers noted that Kevin's posts and videos were commented on by a black beauty signed as scxbanx. On her page there are dozens of pictures with Lee, there is even a photo with two mothers - a fighter and a girl. From the texts under the photos, we can conclude that the couple has been together since 2017. But it seems that the girl is not yet Kevin's wife, they are not tied by the bonds of official marriage and children.

Now the American continues to build a career and increases the number of victories. In May 2019, Lee faced off against Brazilian Rafael Douz Anjus at UFC Fight Night 152 in Rochester, USA. At the beginning of the fight, Kevin firmly seized the initiative, but in the 3rd round the Brazilian made a takedown, and in the fourth - a choke hold and snatched the victory.
