After five UFC fights at Lightweight, Peek (9-3) will drop to Featherweight. The 30-year-old all-action fighter is riding the first losing streak of his career, dropping his last two fights via unanimous decision – making his current UFC record 2-3.
Peek was successful in his UFC debut in 2023, knocking out Erick Gonzalez (watch highlights) and receiving a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus. In his next outing, he went to war with Chepe Mariscal, losing a unanimous decision and somehow missing out on ‘Fight of the Night.’

Lee (11-2) suffered his first UFC loss in his last outing when he was clobbered with a crazy 38-punch combo by Hyder Amil (watch highlights).
“The Korean Tiger” is 2-1 inside the Octagon, Road to UFC Season 1 Featherweight tournament winner, and had five first-round finishes in under a minute.
