Kevin Lee - 140
This is a changing of the guard fight to me, Kevin Lee was beating el cucuy when he got caught in a triangle. His only loses have been to top 5 real deal competition who have wars in the octagon, Edson Barboza has way less recent quality wins like Evan Dunham what a pile of crap, cant wait till he fights again.
Lee has good boxing, speed, agility, good wrestling (was 37-0) and i think is still improving . Lee will be the better rested fighter , Barboza is comming off a beat down from Khabib Nurmagomedov. “Motown Phenom” captured five-straight victories at the lightweight level, including finishes of Michael Chiesa, Francisco Trinaldo, and Jake Matthews. Barboza, 32 got the Nurmagomedov fight on reputation because the el cucuy fight timing was off, and notorious was AWOL, Barboza is starting to fade with the new level of competition. Lee went the distance with Al Iaquinta and Barboza power is over rated, he is a volume striker who lands a ton of shots, but does not have a ko with his hands since 2013. Lees Striking is under rated because of his has eight victories by submission
