Last month at UFC 244, Kevin Lee returned to the lightweight division in a big way with a “Knockout of the Year” candidate against Gregor Gillespie. And as you already know, President Donald Trump was sitting cageside at Madison Square Garden.
So what did Lee do after the fight? He showed his support for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Instagram.
BERNIE SANDERS YOU BASTARDS.
Fast forward seven weeks to Saturday, and Lee was in Las Vegas at a Sanders rally, giving an endorsement speech that naturally included a jab at noted Trump supporter Colby Covington, who was TKO’d by welterweight champion Kamaru Usman last week at UFC 245.
