Kevin Lee has provided an update regarding his debut for Eagle FC. While appearing on The Schmozone Podcast, the former UFC fighter claimed that a fight between him and Diego Sanchez is likely to happen.
According to 'The Motown Phenom', opponent Diego Sanchez is yet to sign the contract. The contract holdup with 'The Nightmare' is preventing the bout from being officially announced.
Kevin Lee also revealed that Eagle FC is hoping to announce the bout in a special way.
"It looks like that fight is gonna happen. We don't have a signed contract from Diego yet, so I can't officially announce that it's going on. You know, they want to do it in a special way and all this right. They want to announce it themselves," - said Kevin Lee.
