Kevin Lee Has Missed Weight, Putting Tomorrow Night's Main Event In Jeopardy
After Uncle Dana climbed endless hurdles to make this AMAZING fight a reality tomorrow night, Kevin Lee may have just fucked it all up for everybody! Unbelievable!
The UFC Lightweight did not hit the scales by 11am local time this morning (though apparently he did backstage?), and when he did, he came in heavy at 158.5lbs - 2.5lbs over the limit for a non-title fight.
Honestly, it's pretty preposterous to miss weight after releasing this quote to the masses...
...but I think this is a classic case of too much faith in a snow day. Kevin Lee thought, "There's NO FUCKING WAY this fight happens. March Madness is cancelled. The NBA and NHL seasons are probably donezo. Countries are shutting down entirely. I can eat whatever I want this week!", and loaded up on them Brazilian carbs all week! No doubt about it!
Kevin Lee was probably tucked away in bed last night, flipping through the channels when he saw Dana say the fight is ON while on SportsCenter, and his eyes bulged outta his head!
It's that, "I Didn't Study For The Test Because I Thought School Would Be Snowed Out!" Energy, and it's the worst.
I feel for him as a lazy guy myself. Let's hope the fight goes on as planned.
UPDATE: It appears the fight is ON! Great news!
