Kevin Lee isn’t enjoying the best start to 2020. The lightweight contender tore his left ACL back in April not long after suffering a submission loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC Brasilia back in March. At the time Lee was optimistic about the injury and was hoping to quickly return to fighting, he said.

“It used to mean being out a year. They’ve gotten better with the technology and the [physical therapy], so it might even be sooner. I don’t know.”

Unfortunately, Lee has now tore his right ACL, for which he recently underwent a second surgery. The 27-year-old will now face a much longer lay off than he had originally hoped for.

Lee broke news of another ACL injury on his Instagram earlier today.

“I hurt it while trying to recover from this one,” Lee explained. “But honestly, I’m not that discouraged about it. I feel like I’ve been on this path for a long-ass time, like last 10 years, and I’ve seen a lot of this sh*t happening. I didn’t know I was going to have it, but I knew for sure it was going to happen. I guess God wants me to have two strong knees, so when I come back, I’m going to f*ck somebody up.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Bobby Green

First up on the UFC Vegas 5 main card we have an eagerly anticipated rematch. Lando Vannata and Bobby Green will square off for the second time. The pair first met back in 2017 at UFC 216. Both men exchanged shots throughout the 15-minute bout which earned was named the Fight of the Night. Vannata has had mixed form over the past three years but looked great against Yancy Medeiros in his last fight. Green also looked good earlier this year when he picked up a submission win over UFC legend Clay Guida.

Round 1: A slow start. For about 30 seconds before they pick up where they left up in 2017 – throwing bombs! Both men trade huge right hands. Landon Vannata drops to the floor but it seems to be a slip. Bobby Green cracks his opponent with a huge straight right hand dropping him to the floor. That’s a legit knockdown.

Again, both men trade bombs as the bell sounds to end round one.

Round 3: Vannata lands big at the start of round three. Green wobbles back but avoids falling down. Green gets the clinch and is landing knees. Vannata isn’t defending properly. He’s content to just throw body shots. Big mistake. He eats a huge shot that drops him. Green falls in looking for the finish. He’s dropping bombs of Vannata who does well to survive and get back to his feet. The pair exchange shots before Green again shoots in for a takedown and gets it. A half-hearted attempted at the choke before he let’s go and accepts the takedown. Vannata tries to stand up but gives up his back. Green tries to sink in the choke but its too slippy. They go back to the middle and back to striking. Big shot from Vannata with 60 seconds left – he probably needs a finish at this point. One-two by Green. Nice right hand from Vannata. Vannata throws a spinning back-kick to the body but is bundled to the mat by Green who finishes the bout on top.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Bobby Green def. Lando Vannata via unanimous decision
