UFC Lightweight Contender Lee Makes FOX Sports Desk Analyst Debut with Champion Woodley, Florian and Host Bryant for FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: DOS SANTOS VS. IVANOV Coverage Saturday

Fitzgerald and Smith Call Bouts on FS1 and the FOX Sports App

LOS ANGELES – Today, FOX Sports announces UFC No. 5-ranked lightweight contender Kevin Lee makes his FOX Sports desk analyst debut alongside UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, retired title contender Kenny Florian, and lead UFC host Karyn Bryant for FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: DOS SANTOS VS. IVANOV on Saturday, July 14.

Brendan Fitzgerald and veteran MMA analyst Jimmy Smith call FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: DOS SANTOS VS. IVANOV live on FS1 and streaming on the FOX Sports app Saturday, while Victor Davila and Mario Delgado call the bouts in Spanish on FOX Deportes. Laura Sanko reports and interviews fighters.

In the main event of UFC’s first trip to Boise, former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos (18-5) attempts to stop the rise of Bulgarian powerhouse Blagoy Ivanov (16-1, 1NC). Owner of wins over Stipe Miocic, Cain Velasquez, Frank Mir, Mark Hunt and Ben Rothwell, “Cigano” fell short of regaining his crown in his UFC 211 rematch with Miocic. On July 14, he can get back in line for another shot at the title with a win over UFC newcomer Ivanov, who brings a stellar 16-1, 1NC record into his first Octagon bout.
