The main event between Lee and Sanchez will result in a rebound victory for either as they come in off losses in their final UFC contests. In Aug. 2021, Lee suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Daniel Rodriguez which made him 1-4 in his last five outings. As for Sanchez, a Sept. 2020 loss to Jake Matthews followed by some “coaching” shenanigans spelled the end for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 1 winner.
