LAS VEGAS – Kevin Lee unsurprisingly has thoughts on Conor McGregor’s alleged bus attack, even if he’s somewhat reluctant to share them.
Lee (16-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC), a UFC lightweight who meets Edson Barboza (19-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 128 main event later this month, typically has an opinion on just about everything. The takes have poured in since McGregor’s (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) now-infamous rampage on UFC 223 fighters in Brooklyn last week, which led to the “his arrest and being chrged with assault.
“The Motown Phenom” was asked about the situation during a media scrum today in Las Vegas, which MMAjunkie attended at the UFC Performance Institute. In his first answer on the subject, he made it clear he doesn’t have the desire to give more attention, because McGregor already has more than enough of it
“I think you do have to blame some of the media for blowing the dude’s head up, and he just feel like his (expletive) don’t stink,” Lee told MMAjunkie. “I think a lot of what you see is frustration. I think he knows he ain’t been the champ for a while. He don’t know what else to do. He’s acting like a child. It’s retarded. I ain’t going to give that cokehead too much press.”
Kevin Lee hates giving 'cokehead' Conor McGregor more press, but 'he's not a real gangster'
