Late yesterday February 6th, 2023 ex-UFC fighter Kevin Lee posted some images to his social media with UFC President Dana White and senior Vice President Sean Shelby.
The newly resigned Kevin Lee captioned the photo “I’m grateful for every moment in my life. Alhamdulillah. Hard work always pays off”. Hinting at the news but never officializing it.
Which it was released by ESPN that the newly converted man of muslim faith is back on the roster.
Kevin Lee was signed to the management agency CAA, along with ex-UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou. Georges St. Pierre, welterweight and midleweight champ was also signed at one point.
Marquel Martin combat sports agent for CAA wasn’t on good terms with the UFC promotion which resulted in negotiation problems for fighters signed under the management, but also resulted in cuts from the promotion. Of which Lee was one of the fighters to get cut back in November 30th, 2021.
It seems we know where Kevin Lee fits into this, and it is the UFC.
