Khamzat Chimaev to fight Rhys McKee at UFC on ESPN 14 on 10-day turnaround

Just 10 days after making his UFC debut, Khamzat Chimaev has another fight.

Chimaev will make a quick turnaround when he meets Rhys McKee at UFC on ESPN 14 in a welterweight bout this Saturday in Abu Dhabi. The booking was first reported by ESPN and officially announced on last night’s UFC Fight Island 2 broadcast.

It was UFC President Dana White who initially mentioned that the 26-year-old Swede could be getting another fight soon after he decimated John Phillips this past Wednesday in a middleweight contest.
