Despite his experience and high-level resume, Lee is considered a significant underdog against the dominant champion Rabadanov, who is coached by Khabib Nurmagomedov[1][4].

Key Factors to Consider

• This is the first meeting between Gadzhi Rabadanov and Kevin Lee. No prior head-to-head history exists[1][4].
• Kevin Lee is stepping in as an alternate for the injured Jay-Jay Wilson. Lee himself has dealt with multiple injuries throughout his career but reports indicate he is currently healthy. No injuries reported for Rabadanov[1][4].
• Kevin Lee is debuting in the PFL as an official alternate and must adapt to the promotion’s tournament format and cage environment on short notice. Rabadanov benefits from stability and championship experience within the PFL[1][4].
• Lee is highly motivated to prove he remains a top contender at lightweight, while Rabadanov aims to retain his championship momentum and make another run at the title[4].
