1. Kevin Lee
Although he lost his chance to win the interim lightweight belt when he was subdued by Tony Ferguson at UFC 216 (October 7, 2017), Kevin Lee’s future is still bright.
When the fight was scheduled, many felt that Lee – 25 years old – was not yet ready for an athlete like Ferguson, but he proved he was. ‘The Motown Phenom’ has consistently improved over the years, and when competing against ‘El Cucuy’, it showed that it deserves to be among the best ranked fighters.
In addition to his talent in the cage, Lee also has talent with the microphone. His bold and open personality makes him perfect for television, and his extravagant personality makes him even more striking. Climbing the welterweight division may be necessary, but one thing is certain, and that is the fact that Lee has all the characteristics of a legitimate star.
If promoted correctly, ‘The Motown Phenom’ can become one of the biggest names in sport in the years to come.
