Predicted: Rhys McKee by TKO in Round 2

⚡80%

Rhys McKee enters this fight with significant momentum and the massive advantage of fighting on home soil in Belfast, a factor that cannot be overstated for a PFL debut. McKee is known for his relentless pressure and a 100% finishing rate in all his professional victories, with the majority coming by KO or TKO. His aggressive, grappling-first style combined with legitimate KO power is likely to overwhelm Alex Lohore, who, despite his veteran experience and championship pedigree, has shown a tendency to absorb pressure and look for counter-opportunities. Lohore's last MMA fight was 11 months ago, which could also play a factor against McKee's planned activity in the PFL.
