One of the featured mixed martial arts bouts featured on the DREAM.18 card on New Year’s Eve in Japan was a lightweight non-title bout between Dream champ Shinya Aoki and former MFC title holder Antonio McKee. The fighters would go into the second round, following a first round grappling match, with Aoki landing a solid right hand in the opening moments and would see McKee verbally submit. McKee had made mention in a previous interview that this would be his final bout before retirement.
