Manager reflects on Keith Lee’s awe-inspiring transition from Bellator fighter to viral food critic

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 14:36:06 +0000

Keith Lee wasn’t exactly a household name when he was fighting under the Bellator banner. During his brief run with the promotion that began in 2020, Lee did have some buzz around him as the younger brother of former UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee. However, his popularity is nowhere near what it is today. Lee’s videos critiquing food on social media propelled him to viral stardom. What started as cooking tutorials in his own home became reviews of local small restaurants. Now, after amassing millions of views and followers, the “ Keith Lee and Family Food Tour ” has the former Bellator fighter traveling across the country offering genuine, unfiltered reviews of various food spots.

Bellator 265 video: Jornel Lugo chokes Keith Lee unconscious as bell sounds in Round 1

BAD MMA News — Sat, 21 Aug 2021 02:59:32 +0000

It took Jornel Lugo exactly five minutes to pick up his third Bellator win. In the opening fight of the Bellator 265 main card Friday, Lugo (7-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) notched his second career submission when he put Keith Lee to sleep with a rear-naked choke as the bell sounded to close Round 1. After a showcase of jabs and technicality on the feet, Lugo took the fight to the ground where he worked to the back position. From there, he quickly worked arm position and locked in a rear-naked choke. The submission didn’t take long to prove effective. As Lee tried to fight his way out, his arms went noticeably limp

Lee, 24, whose claim to fame for so long was, “Kevin Lee’s brother,” has made a name for himself in the world of TikTok. In the midst of Bellator 265 fight week, Lee’s account currently sits at over 860,000 followers – and is increasing at a rapid rate. When Lee created his TikTok account in November 2020 during recovery from an injury and staph infection, he wasn’t thinking anything would come from it. It was never his goal to become a social media influencer. So how did it happen, then
