Kevin Lee is quickly establishing himself as the Terry Funk of MMA as the fighter has again announced that he is unretiring for a second time and returning to MMA competition.

I’m coming out of retirement. I’ll fight MMA again. Idk when, where, or who yet but I’m dropping weight and getting into shape now.

I’m gonna get in the best shape of my life that’s my focus right now. It’s been 6 months since I retired and I miss being around the sport

The fighter retired for a second time this past July after a first round submission loss to Rinat Fakhretdinov at UFC On ESPN 48.
There is no word yet on when the unretired Lee will return to action and what promotion he could be fighting at, it is also unknown is the UFC froze his contract or simply released him after his second retirement.
