Kevin Lee & Islam Makhachev Continue To Call For Fight
Kevin Lee and Islam Makhachev want to fight one another. Recently, Makhachev denied being offered a fight with “The Motown Phenom,” as Lee suggested.
“Never been offered KevinLee fight. Just send me the contract @seanshelby@danawhite@ufc@bokamotoESPN“
Recently, Islam’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, suggested he’s having a difficult time finding his client an opponent.
“Guys please I need someone to fight this man Nobody want this business”
Lee, however, takes exception with this suggestion, responding with the following.
“WHaT. Cmon Ali don’t tell me I gotta turn to twitter to get this done. How many times I gotta raise my hand”
Makhachev responded yesterday on Twitter, once again calling for a matchup with Lee.
“Somebody please make this fight happen”
Lee just snapped a two-fight losing streak with a knockout win over Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244 in November. It was quite the bounce back for Lee, who picked up the first-round stoppage win after making the move over to Tristar Gym. As for Makhachev, he’s on a six-fight win streak since suffering the first defeat of his career back in October of 2015.
What do you think about a potential matchup between Lee and Makhachev next?
