Kevin
Lee isn’t especially pleased after footage of a recent sparring
session went public.

In a video making the rounds on social media, Lee is dropped by an
overhand right after missing a flying knee attempt during practice
at
Kill Cliff FC in Florida. The UFC veteran returns to his feet
but is still wobbly as Robbie
Lawler attends to him. Lee can be overheard saying, “I’m good,”
and Lawler responds by telling him to “Walk it off.”

While such instances aren’t necessarily uncommon during training,
it’s rare for video of sparring to be released. It’s currently
unclear how the footage became available, but Lee was
understandably unhappy that it did.

“[I don’t know] who posted that video or why, but I’m heading right
now to find out,” Lee wrote on X. “I can only blame myself for
showing mercy and pulling my knee back but it’s training so I
thought let me not blast him. I see I shouldn’t have been playing
around with a guy like that. Since mfs wanna start showing sparring
[I’m going to] start showing sparrings from now on.”

The 32-year-old Lee fought once in 2024, scoring a first-round
submission victory against Thiago
Oliveira at Lights Out Championship 17 in Wayne, Michigan, this
past September. “The Motown Phenom”
announced his retirement after his UFC return saw him suffer a
55-second submission loss to Rinat Rakhretdinov in July 2023. That
decision proved to be short-lived, as he announced his comeback
early in 2024.

Lee was a highly-regarded talent early in his UFC tenure, winning
nine of his first 11 outings from 2014 to 2017. More recently, he
was
selected in the Global Fight League draft by the New York
team.
