Lee was humble after the fight, praising Gillespie as a high-level opponent. He was also honest about where he stood, revealing that he won’t be calling out champions any time soon. Instead, Islam Makhachev is a name which he took and one who he believes is an interesting match-up for him.
It’s the right fight to make and the one that we’ll be seeing, but in an ideal world, Kevin Lee told MMAFighting that he would love to fight Conor McGregor:
He was, however, honest about the reality that the fight won’t happen.
Lee would be an interesting fight for McGregor, but it seems clear that the UFC won’t use one of McGregor’s rare appearances on Kevin Lee. Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje are the two names floating around to fight the Irishman on January 18th.
As for Lee, he will continue improving under Zahabi and it’s going to be interesting to see where he fits into the equation of the Lightweight division.
