McKee has been tipped for an eventual Octagon call over the course of the prior twelve months - aided by three straight stoppage wins since his Cage Warriors bow back in 2018. The Northern Irelander joined up with Graham Boylan's promotion following a loss to Terry Brazier back at BAMMA London in 2018 and hasn't faltered since.
The Next Generation MMA trainee lodged two knockout victories over Jefferson George and Hakon Foss, sandwiched between a guillotine stoppage of Perry Andre Goodwin. The well-rounded Rodney Moore product would link up with former Cage Warriors light heavyweight champion, Modestas Bukauskas, as well as former lightweight champion, and one-time opponent, Jai Herbert with a move to the UFC for the August event.
