Gasses out in ugly loss
FeatherweightUFC
May 10, 2025
Lee lost to Daniel Santos via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal.
ANALYSIS
To be fair, Lee deserved to win Round 1, not that it would have made a difference. Santos was the one that accepted this bout on short notice, but it was Lee who gassed badly. He defended all five of Santos' shots in the opening frame, but allowed three takedowns in each of the final two rounds. There was very little resistance, and Lee simply didn't have the energy to mount a comeback once he fell behind. The 29-year-old has now lost back-to-back fights and will likely need a victory his next time out in order to avoid a release.

Drops war to Hyder Amil

July 20, 2024
Lee lost to Hyder Amil via TKO (punches) at 1:05 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
These two spent the entirety of the fight winging bombs at each other, and Lee got the worst of it. Lee began the bout by landing one massive blow and it was all downhill from there. Amil connected on at least 10-15 shots which would have finished off any mere mortal. Lee ate every single one and somehow was still standing, at which point referee Mark Smith had wisely decided he had seen enough. Although he came up short here, his first UFC defeat, the fact Lee showed he can hang in there and absorb this type of punishment is a great sign moving forward.

Lee will take on Hyder Amil at the UFC event July 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It took almost exactly a year for Lee to get his first UFC fight following earning a contract. He made it worth the wait with a unanimous decision win over Blake Bilder in February. Amil also was victorious in his UFC debut in February.
