Result Summary

Rhys McKee def. Alex Lohore Decision (unanimous) · R3 5:00

This highly anticipated catchweight co-main event played out as a tense, calculated striking chess match, with Rhys "Skeletor" McKee relying on a disciplined game plan to overcome the dangerous power of Alex Lohore. McKee utilized his "tall-man defense" and a stiff, piston-like jab to keep the athletic, explosive Lohore at bay. The first round saw McKee successfully manage distance, stifling Lohore's looping attacks by firing sharp straight right hands down the pipe. In the second round, Lohore found some success biting down on his mouthpiece and blitzing inside the pocket, landing a few heavy hooks that briefly tested McKee's chin. However, McKee adjusted brilliantly in the third, avoiding brawls and using his spatial awareness to initiate well-timed clinch exchanges. He eventually secured a crucial takedown to rack up control time and sap Lohore's remaining energy. By continuously forcing the fight on his terms and picking Lohore apart from the outside, McKee coasted to a clear-cut unanimous decision victory after 15 hard-fought minutes.
