My next fight is set for feb 8 in Houston Texas against #8 ranked flyweight Lauren Murphy!
I hope everyone I know can come out to Houston, this is probably the closest I’ll fight to home in a while! @ufc #ufc https://t.co/CK7K5AbzqJ— Andrea Lee (@AndreaKGBLee) November 13, 2019
The 30-year-old Lee (11-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) isn’t wasting much time trying to shake off her first UFC loss. Lee dropped a split decision to Joanne Calderwood at UFC 242, which ended a streak in which she won her first three UFC bouts and seven overall.
Murphy (11-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC), meanwhile, has proven to be a dependable competitor over the years, always a tough out win or lose. The MMA Lab competitor is coming off a third-round TKO win at UFC on ESPN 5, which gave her two wins in her past three fights.
