com/SUnZirb2z9 — PFL (@PFLMMA) April 12, 2026 McKee graded himself on a tough rubric after the fight : I think it was a B-plus, maybe. I feel like I had such good positions that I coulda went for the finish, but against a guy that’s tricky like him, I just felt like I was doing a little too much of keeping the position instead of looking for more damage … I’m just really hard on myself.
