ChangHo Lee says team talked him into fighting after Cortavious Romious’ UFC Vegas 105 weight miss

LAS VEGAS – ChangHo Lee met the media Saturday after his win over Cortavious Romious at UFC on ESPN 65.

Lee (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) got back to his typical finishing ways after a decision in his UFC debut when he pounded out Cortavious Romious (9-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in the second round. The win came after Romious weighed in at 139 pounds for the bantamweight bout.

Lee said his team from South Korea had to talk him into staying in the fight after Romious’ big weight miss – and it paid off with not only 20 percent of Romious’ purse, but a $50,000 performance bonus.

Check out Lee’s post-fight news conference in the video above.
