Lee herself also faced the current champion of Lightweight – Charles Oliveira and received defeat by tightening the lock in the third half. Therefore, the boxer understood that Oliveira's strength and affirmed that the new king would maintain the throne for a long time.
“After the defeat against Charles, I knew he was the most powerful martial artist in Lightweight.” Kevin Lee told Helen Yee Sports. “I see that no one is capable of defeating Charles Oliveira. McGregor or Poirier has not enough techniques to defeat a boxer like Oliveira.”
Kevin Lee used to be one of the leading Lightweight boxers, but after many failures in winning the championship, this boxer decided to raise the Welterweight weight class.
Conor McGregor will have a third rematch with Dustin Poirier and the possibility of the winner will receive the next championship. According to Lee's subjective judgment, McGregor is likely to win higher in this match. “I think McGregor will win this time. He will calculate thoroughly and win.”
In 2014, McGregor quickly defeated Poirier in Featherweight. Until early 2021, the two had the opportunity to face each other in Lightweight, and this time the winner was Poirier. Therefore, the third rematch in July to become the focus of attention in the UFC fan community.
