UFC on Fox: Lee vs. Iaquinta 2


UFC on Fox: Lee vs. Iaquinta 2 was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that was held on December 15, 2018, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.

Background

After previously contesting two events in Milwaukee at Bradley Center, the event was the first for the promotion at the newly built venue.
The event also marked the end of the UFC's seven years with Fox as a new broadcast deal with ESPN is slated to begin in January 2019. It was also the last UFC event to air on network television until UFC on ABC: Holloway vs. Kattar in January 2021.
A lightweight rematch between former interim title challenger Kevin Lee and Al Iaquinta served as the event headliner. The pairing met previously in February 2014 at UFC 169 with Iaquinta winning the fight via unanimous decision.
Erik Koch was expected to face promotional newcomer Dwight Grant in a welterweight bout. However, Koch was removed from the card on November 28 for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Zak Ottow.
A women's flyweight bout between Jessica-Rose Clark and Andrea Lee was expected to take place at the event. However, Clark was forced out of the bout on weigh-in day as she was hospitalized due to a weight cutting issue and deemed medically unfit to compete by UFC physicians. As a result, the bout was cancelled.
