Rhys McKee says he wants to be the man to "drag" the UFC back to Belfast.
McKee fought twice under Dana White's promotion during the Covid pandemic, losing out to rising superstar Khamzat Chimaev and then seasoned campaigner Alex Morono. He is now rebuilding his career with Cage Warriors, and on Saturday night he will bid to become CW welterweight champion.
Victory against Justin Burlinson at the SSE Arena could open the door for the Co Antrim fighter's return to the UFC. It could also pave the way for more massive nights in Belfast.
