PFL Belfast Faceoffs: Kelly, Wilson, McKee, Lohore

PFL Belfast held its official faceoffs on Tuesday ahead of the April 16 card at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Darragh "The Moville Mauler" Kelly and Jay-Jay "The Maori Kid" Wilson went face to face ahead of the lightweight main event matchup, with the stakes for the Belfast headliner giving the moment real weight. For the co-main, Rhys "Skeletor" McKee and Alex "Da Killa King" Lohore squared up in preparation for their catchweight 176 lb showdown, with the home crowd favorite McKee staring down the veteran Lohore just days before his PFL debut.

Kelly enters as the undefeated Irish prospect who has finished every single one of his opponents, a pressure fighter with elite wrestling and an increasingly dangerous striking game. Wilson brings the sharpshooting combinations and technical striking of a well traveled veteran who has competed at the highest international levels. Their contrast tells the story of what is coming Thursday night; raw, surging momentum against seasoned, composed experience. In the co-main, McKee brings elite finishing ability built across the Cage Warriors and BAMMA circuits, while Lohore counters with the disciplined footwork and veteran composure that come from nearly a decade of high-level competition.

PFL Belfast goes live Thursday, April 16, from the SSE Arena in Belfast. The main card starts at 7 PM ET on ESPN2.
