MMA Community reacts to tonight’s UFC Atlantic City main event!

A key lightweight tilt between perennial division contenders Edson Barboza and Kevin Lee served as the headliner of tonight’s UFC Fight Night 128 event in Atlantic City.

Kevin Lee was able to absolutely dominate Edson Barboza on the ground for the first two rounds of tonight’s UFC Atlantic City headliner.

However, early in round three Barboza would land a spinning head kick that had Lee in all sorts of trouble and on wobbly legs.

Kevin Lee was eventually able to recover from the spectacular kick and would end up scoring a TKO victory (doctors stoppage) over Barboza late in the fifth and final round.

Check out how the MMA Community reacted to Kevin Lee’s impressive stoppage victory over Edson Barboza below:

How can fans boo this fight? I mean seriously? Kevin Lee is putting on a ground and pound clinic and somehow a battered Barboza almost ended the one sided affair with a spinning head kick. #UFCAC

Cageside doctor waves it off in the fifth. Championship caliber performance by Kevin Lee. He'll have to answer for missing weight this week, but that was an elite showcase by him tonight.

I don't know what that ending was, but Barboza is a gangster. Kevin Lee also showed heart coming back from that kick, as well. It wasn't easy to watch, but good fight.

After both guys get 6+months off to heal up, I want to see Barboza fight Gaethje. That's a fight we need to see happen before both guys retire.

It's not the next fight but I really do hope we get to see Kevin Lee vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov one day.

Khabib has been able to dominate everybody on the ground but Lee's wrestling would be the best he's ever faced in the UFC. One day folks. #UFCAC

Conor McGregor, Tony Ferguson, Eddie Alvarez, Dustin Poirier, Kevin Lee…. Who in the world fights @TeamKhabib next?
