According to a report today from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Lee has taken the easy fight – he will face Iaquinta at UFC on FOX 31, which takes place Dec. 15 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis.
The event’s main card airs live on FOX following prelims expected to air on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Lee, 26, is coming off a dominant win over Edson Barboza, which put him back in the win column after a submission loss to Ferguson for the interim belt at UFC 216.
“The Motown Phenom” gets a chance at redemption opposite Iaquinta, 31, who outpointed him four years ago at UFC 169. Since that fight, Iaquinta has gone 5-2 in the octagon, most recently stepping up on extreme short notice for a title shot against current champ Khabib Nurmagomedov.
