Rhys McKee says he is ready to "finally put a good chapter" in his UFC career before his welterweight contest against Chidi Njokuani on Saturday.
McKee was beaten by Khamzat Chimaev and Alex Morono in his earlier foray into the UFC in 2020 before his return in September saw him lose to Swiss opponent Loosa by a unanimous decision. "I haven't fought dummies or idiots, I've fought real guys, and in my head it has always been a compliment from the UFC that those are the guys that I am fighting at that level, but now it is about getting over the line.Despite the elevated stakes of the fight, McKee does not feel any additional pressure against Njokuani, who has won two and lost three of his UFC fights.
