Lee has been out of action since losing a unanimous decision to Natalia Silva at UFC 292 in August. Currently the No. 14-ranked flyweight in the UFC's rankings, Lee is has struggled to build momentum recently, losing three in a row. Her most recent victory was a TKO of Cynthia Calvillo in 2021.

UFC 298 is currently headlined by a featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria.
