McKee is a former undisputed Cage Warriors welterweight champion from Ballymena, Northern Ireland, who has gone through two stints with the UFC across a career that dates back to a 2020 promotional debut against Khamzat Chimaev. Nearly five years and five tries later, he finally banked his first Octagon win in April 2025, blasting Daniel Frunza to a doctor's stoppage, before dropping his most recent outing to Axel Sola at UFC Paris in September 2025.
