His work centers on the outlet’s matchmaking and discussion shows, where immediate results are turned into clear paths for divisions and careers.
On To the Next One and matchmaking
Lee co-hosts On To the Next One, a recurring feature where he and a colleague propose next opponents for fighters after major UFC cards such as Noche UFC, UFC Paris, and UFC 331. He structures those conversations around rankings, momentum, and promotional needs, outlining specific options and explaining why each pairing fits the current landscape. Through this matchmaking lens he tracks emerging contenders, rehabilitates veterans with logical bounce-back fights, and highlights overlooked names who warrant step-up opportunities.
Event preview and post-fight analysis
Lee appears on UFC preview shows, breaking down the main storylines around championship bouts and key contenders, including questions about whether Alexandre Pantoja can avenge a prior loss to Joshua Van and how aging affects elite flyweights. He leads and contributes to post-fight shows such as the UFC Paris reaction program, where he dissects quick finishes like Salahdine Parnasse’s win over Dan Hooker and maps out next moves for winners and losers.
These segments move through entire cards, spotlight turning points, evaluate performances against expectations, and explain how results reshape impending title pictures.
Panel shows and broader MMA discourse
As a regular voice on Between the Links and other roundtable formats, Lee fields live audience questions and debates topics ranging from Ilia Topuria’s public comments to title vacancy decisions and retirement narratives. He also covers personalities and broadcasters around the sport, including Joe Rogan’s criticism of staging a UFC event outdoors at the White House, treating commentary and controversy as part of the fight ecosystem.
His panel work blends news judgement with format fluency, moving between quick-hit updates, neutral summaries of contentious issues, and structured debate segments that keep the focus on fighters and promotions.
Role, experience, and formats
