Barnett stuns McKee at BAMMA 28 with first round stoppage

Late replacement Tim Barnett (4-0) stunned Rhys McKee (5-1) and the SSE Arena in Belfast earlier tonight with an emphatic first round stoppage moments before the end of the round.

Both men went back and forth in the clinch for most of the first round with brief separations. Then shortly before the bell Barnett landed a number of punches and accurate knees to the head of McKee dropping him to the floor forcing the ref to step in.

With this upset win Barnett become the new BAMMA Lonsdale Lightweight champion. 

This is the first professional loss of McKee's young and very promising career.
