Lee hasn’t competed since March 2020, when he was submitted by current lightweight king Charles Oliviera in the UFC Fight Night 170 main event. He has been sidelined since then due to multiple knee surgeries. “The Motown Phenom” has lost three of his last four Octagon appearances at 155 pounds. His only win during that time was a head-kick knockout of Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244.
Brady, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the division’s top prospects with victories in his first four promotional appearances. Most recently, the Renzo Gracie Philly product submitted Jake Matthews with an arm-triangle choke in the third round at UFC 259. His UFC record also includes wins over Christian Aguilera, Ismail Naurdiev and Court McGee.
