Bellator 171 "Guillard vs. Njokani" comes to Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kans. on Jan. 27, 2017. It's a night of fights headlined by "The Young Assassin" Melvin Guillard and Chidi Njokuani having a catchweight bout at 175 pounds.
Bellator has announced some exciting new bouts for the card. featherweight standout McKee (6-0) will make a quick return following his Bellator 166 bout in December, despite his initial belief that he broke his thumb fighting Ray Wood.
Maybe it was just sore from the lopsided beating he dished out.
McKee will take on a slightly more experienced opponent in Brandon Phillips, a 6-2 Featherweight with more total fights if not more wins.
