Kevin Lee Wants to Face Nate Diaz at UFC 227

Kevin Lee spoke with SiriusXM’s MMA Tonight for an interview about his next fight and more. Highlights are below:

On wanting to face Nate Diaz: “I’m turning my focus to Nate. I think that Nate fight is out there to be had. He’s already run away from me once. Now they’ve got Aug. 4 coming up that he’s looking to get on.”

On pushing for the fight to happen at UFC 227: “I’m going to do a little bit of traveling, see the world a bit myself and kind of expand some more of that life to experience, which is just going to make me a better fighter. Coming back? I don’t know. I think the Khabib fight is the right one to make, but the Nate one is out there to be had. I know Dustin and Alvarez, they’re getting in it again, as they rightfully should. But we’ll how this thing shakes out. I’m going to turn my focus onto Nate.”
