Tony and Kevin Lee are coming off losses from Charles Oliveira. Tony Ferguson has lost two out of his last two fixtures. The defeats being against Oliveira and Justin Gaethje. Before his defeat to Justin, “El Cucuy” was on a 12-fight winning streak. Meanwhile, Kevin Lee last won in the year 2019 at the UFC 244 against Gregor Gilespie.

Kevin Lee will be keen to seek his revenge against The Boogeyman. The winner of that fight will potentially move up to the top 5 ranks. Given that Kevin Lee has started working out with the prominent trainer, Firas Zahabi there are high chances Kevin might avenge his loss.
