The fight was booed lustily by a restless crowd frustrated by the utter lack of action.

McKee is a 40 year old UFC debutante known for boring fights and exciting trash talk. He's been fighting as a professional Mixed Martial Artist since 1999 and brings an 11 fight win streak into the UFC. His wrestling-based style saw him go 4-0 in the IFL and has brought him 18 decision wins in 30 fights. Most recently he has reigned over Canada's Maximum Fighting Championship's lightweight division with his last two wins by TKO and submission in the first round.

Volkmann is ten years younger than McKee and has a serious edge in UFC experience going 2-2 with the promotion since 2009. But both of his UFC losses were at welterweight, he's 2-0 since cutting down to 155lbs with decision wins over Paul Kelly and Ronnys Torres.
