On the 18th of May, 2019, the UFC put on their UFC Fight Night 152/UFC on ESPN+ 10 event brought to us from Rochester, New York.
The main attraction featured a Welterweight Bout between former Lightweight Champion, Rafael dos Anjos, and former Interim Lightweight Title contender, Kevin Lee. RDA came into this fight with a 28-11-0 record, after two losses, most recently defeating Robbie Lawler via Unanimous Decision at UFC on FOX 26, back in December of 2017. Meanwhile, his contender the ‘Motown Phenom’ had a 17-4-0 record coming into this fight off a loss to Al Iaquinta last December, last defeating Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night 128 via Cut (Dr. Stoppage) at 2:18 in round 5. Not to be diminished by the main, we had a Middleweight Bout between Antônio Carlos Júnior vs Ian Heinisch as a last minute co-main event, after Neil Magny’s run in with the USADA.
