Rhys ‘Skeletor’ McKee, who trains out of Next Generation Northern Ireland in Ballymena, Ireland, has endured a rough introduction to the big show. His debut fight was vs. Khamzat Chimaev, which ended like all of Borz' fights. And at Saturday's UFC on ESPN+ 41, he lost a unanimous decision to Alex Morono. And to add insult to injury, the former BAMMA lightweight world champ lost is mouthpiece mid-fight. It was literally lost - flew out of the Octagon and rolled under it.

On the plus side, former champ champ Conor McGregor offered post-fight praise.

“I appreciate it Conor, frustrating right now but it will make a good story!" McKee relied. "Thanks champ!“
