Lee, who is currently competing in the Eagle club of Russian champion Habib Nurmagomedov, spoke regarding the reasons for taking that step, during an interview published Tuesday on ESPN Sports.
He added, “I accepted Islam, I converted to Islam, I really accepted my place in life as a Muslim, and because I was always alone, Islam kind of brought me into brotherhood (with Muslims).”
