The journey to this point has been anything but smooth for Antrim's Rhys McKee. They Ballymena man has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster in his 26 years on this planet.
All these bumps along the way make this weekend's headlining of the SSE Arena in Belfast all the more impressive. Seven years after making is professional MMA debut and less than two after being released from the UFC with an 0-2 record, McKee (11-4-1) headlines Cage Warriors 140 and will fight for the Welterweight title in the main event this Saturday.
And with the pressure well and truly on, McKee sure is confident that he won't crack.
