Tonight at UFC Rochester, Kevin Lee had a rude awakening as he moved up to the UFC’s welterweight division and met Rafael Dos Anjos.
The two men went back and forth in a grueling battle until the fourth saw a fading Lee fall short on a takedown offence, and then Dos Anjos use the effort to his advantage, finding a submission and forcing the tap.
Check out what some of their colleagues had to say about the encounter.
Kevin Lee always seem to slow down a lot after this first exchanges— wrestling exchanges. He punches are looking weathered already after such a beautiful start to the fight. #UFCRochester

#RDA had time to get use to 170lb. I can see @MoTownPhenom having a lot of success at welterweight once he gets use to competing bigger
