Former UFC star Kevin Lee faced the wrath of the MMA community when he took a jibe at the UFC star Sean Brady. While ‘The Motown Phenom’ intended to call out another UFC star, Neil Magny, he received a scathing response from Brady. The American fighter had made the switch to Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s MMA promotion, Eagle FC, after a string of losses. However, the lightweight fighter supposedly signed a contract with UFC early this year and is on a hunt for an opponent for his comeback fight. The 30-year-old, therefore, narrowed down on ‘The Haitian Sensation’, who is coming off a loss against Gilbert Burns.

Despite these efforts to land a worthy opponent, things went haywire for the Michigan native. The #8 ranked welterweight fighter triggered the proceedings as he pointed out the details of their canceled fight. As a result, Lee found himself the target of MMA fans who rallied behind the welterweight fighter.

Notably, the 19-7 record holder took to his Twitter handle and called out Magny. Also, he believed Brady won’t square off against him in a potential fight.
I heard you looking for a fight @NeilMagny since your boy @seanbradymma won’t do it let’s get it in May 6 PPV
— Kevin Lee MTP (@MoTownPhenom) February 28, 2023
Thus, he wrote, “I heard you looking for a fight @NeilMagny since your boy @seanbradymma won’t do it let’s get it in May 6 PPV”
These comments didn’t sit well with the Renzo Gracie Philly representative. Thus, he recalled the ruined chances that the former Eagle FC associate once had.
Hence, the BJJ ace hit back, “My guy you had your chance to fight me on the McGregor card July 10 you pulled out with a “rib” injury and I’m currently recovering a torn adductor I’m sure @NeilMagny ain’t scared to fight you”
How did the fans react to Lee’s challenge?

Markedly, Brady’s undefeated streak came to a halt on UFC 280 as Belal Muhammad handed him the first loss of his professional career. His next fight against Michel Pereira on March 25 didn’t materialize. As he had to pull out of the event due to a torn groin.
