The two have been booked to fight at Bellator 221 on May 11 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi confirmed with sources. McKee and Curran were booked to fight at Bellator 205 last September, but Curran was forced to withdraw due to an injury.
This will be the biggest test yet for the 23-year-old McKee, who is unbeaten in 13 pro bouts, all inside the Bellator cage. He has finished three of his last four opponents, most recently submitting Daniel Crawford with an anaconda choke in the opening round of their bout at Bellator 212.
