In the main event of UFC Fight Night Atlantic City, Kevin Lee had very impressive performance against dangerous striker Edson Barboza. Lee was dominating all 5 rounds using his wrestling and putting pressure on Barboza all time.
Barboza was able to hit Kevin with spinning back kick, which rocked Kevin, but he soon recovered and take Barboza down again, and again… until the doctor stoppage in 5th round.
