Antonio McKee promised to shed the “boring” label on Friday night, and he delivered.
McKee, whose tendency to grind out decisions had turned him into the best fighter no one wanted to watch, needed just three minutes, 11 seconds to defeat Luciano Azevedo on Friday night’s Maximum Fighting Championships card. McKee controlled Azevedo on the ground as he does to most of his opponents, but instead of lying on top of him, McKee kept striking and eventually delivered a brutal elbow to Azevedo’s forehead, opening a huge cut and ending the fight.
“I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks,” the 40-year-old McKee said after the fight.
