Al Iaquinta was a fairly sizable underdog in the UFC on FOX 31 main event, but came through with flying colors. Iaquinta (14-4-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Kevin Lee (17-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in their rematch this past Saturday night to get back in the win column in the lightweight division about eight months after he fought champion Khabib Nurmagomedov on short notice – a move that truly got the division’s attention. But now he likely really has it after taking the best of what Lee had to offer and beating him up a little for 25 minutes. He got a pair of 48-47 scores and a 49-46 from the judges at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The main card aired on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass
