Pettis is coming off a Knockout of the Year contender over Magomed Magomedov at PFL Dubai this past October. The former Bellator champion called for a shot at the vacant belt after the win, but will have to get past a rising contender first. Kill Cliff FC’s McKee was most recently seen in action in September when he scored a knockout win in the LFA 217 main event.
In the co-main event, middleweights Jordan Newman (8-0) and American Top Team’s Josh Silveira (15-5) will throw down.
