After an impressive Octagon debut last Wednesday, Khamzat
Chimaev will compete for the second time in 10 days when he
faces Rhys McKee
at
UFC on ESPN 14.
The welterweight pairing was announced by the promotion on
Saturday. UFC on ESPN 14 takes place at the Flash Forum in Abu
Dhabi and is headlined by a middleweight tilt pitting Robert
Whittaker against Darren Till.
The card airs on ESPN and ESPN+ beginning at 5 p.m. ET/ 2 p.m.
PT.
Chimaev will return to his natural weight class after submitting
John
Phillips with a brabo choke in the second round of their
matchup at UFC on ESPN 13 on July 15. The Brave CF veteran is 7-0
as a professional, with all of his victories coming by knockout,
technical knockout or submission.
A former BAMMA lightweight champion, McKee enters his first
promotional foray on a three-fight winning streak under the Cage
Warriors banner. The 24-year-old Northern Ireland native owns a
10-2-1 career mark and has finished all of his wins inside the
distance.
