Northern Irish prospect Rhys McKee could be on the verge of fighting for the Cage Warriors lightweight title, but the Next Generation fighter is instead looking to a move to welterweight due to his ever-growing cuts to 155 pounds.
“Skeletor” took a third-round submission win over Perry Goodwin after an epic back and forth fight at Cage Warriors 102. Despite the success McKee has had at lightweight—he claimed the BAMMA divisional title in 2018 before clocking a 2-0 record since signing with Cage Warriors—he admits that the cut is becoming more rigorous as he continues to grow into his 6-foot-3 frame.
