Kevin Lee made the headlines recently after he made some allegations against his current employer and former colleague, Khabib Nurmagomedov. An ex-UFC fighter, Lee recently called out the former UFC champion in a since-deleted tweet. Lee was of the opinion that things were not so smooth between himself and ‘The Eagle.’ Therefore, he demanded that they sit down and have a talk about things. Lee’s frustration stemmed from having just one fight under Eagle FC after signing for them. The UFC released Lee in 2021 and he signed for Eagle FC shortly after.

The former UFC interim-title challenger voiced doubts that Nurmagomedov held some kind of grudge against him. Despite his 4-year deal with Eagle FC, Lee stated, “it’s getting to the point where I might step outside of it.”

Now, those predictions appear to be coming true. In a recent interview, Lee explicitly mentioned plans for fighting under the PFL banner, targeting an eventual showdown against Jake Paul. “I think I am going to do two fights with PFL first, kind of really establish myself in the league. And then we fight Jake Paul when he comes over.”

While Lee had expressed frustration over the lack of competition before, he had hoped to resolve things with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Now, with Lee openly stating plans for a PFL move, fans have started wondering about Lee’s future along with that of Eagle FC.
