Rinat Fakhretdinov spoke prior to his fight about his wrestling skills and how it would be the difference in his fight with Kevin Lee.
It was a technical submission because referee Herb Dean stopped it at 55 seconds when he noticed Lee had gone to sleep via the choke.
“You have to remember that we’re the new generation,” Fakhretdinov said in the Octagon after his win. “We’re the best fighters around here. I have nothing but respect for Kevin Lee. He’s a great fighter. I specifically studied him. I watched his tapes. I made sure to educate myself on him. I watched that [Gregor] Gillespie knockout [Lee scored on Nov. 2, 2019, in New York] day in and day out. I had his picture there that I looked at all the time.
Lee said all the right things before the fight and seemed in amazing physical condition, but the fight was over before he could even get started. Lee was out almost as soon as Fakhretdinov cinched the choke, but it took a while for Dean to determine that Lee had gone out.
