Andrea Lee will clash with Montana De La Rosa in a key flyweight bout at UFC Greenville this June.
KGB Lee looks set to return at UFC Greenville in June. On Monday, Flo Combat was first to report that the flyweight, properly Andrea Lee, will take on Montana De La Rosa at the card, numerically UFC Fight Night 153, or UFC on ESPN+ 11. The event takes place June 22, from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC.
Texas-born Lee (10-2) will look to build on a six-fight winning streak, with her past two victories coming in the UFC octagon. Lee won her promotional debut against Veronica Macedo at UFC Chile last year, earning Fight of the Night honors. She followed that up with a unanimous decision win over the always gritty Ashlee Evans-Smith in February at UFC on ESPN 1. Lee, nicknamed ‘KGB’ for her Russian-esque appearance, is a former LFC and LFA flyweight champion.
Montana De La Rosa (10–4) has three wins of her own in the UFC’s flyweight division. De La Rosa, then Montana Stewart, joined the promotion as part of The Ultimate Fighter 26, which launched the womn’s 125lb weight class in the organization. With wins over Christina Marks, Rachael Ostovich, and Nadia Kassem, she’ll get her biggest test yet against KGB Lee in South Carolina.
De La Rosa earned a Performance of the Night bonus at UFC 234 for her submission of Kassem.
