Gallery Photos: Kevin Lee through the years (This story first appeared in the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat & Chronicle .) Kevin Lee says he’s still keeping all options on the table, but with his headlining role at May’s UFC on ESPN+ 9 event, he believes there’s a shift in balance at 170 pounds. “Welterweight has become the marquee division,” Lee said. “Lightweight got stagnant for a little bit, and we’re really starting to see some shakers and movers at 170, and you’re going to count me in on May 18.” Lee (17-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) faces former UFC lightweight champ Rafel dos Anjos (28-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC) in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 9, which takes place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y.
