Match Details

  • Date: 2025-09-06
  • Time: 7:45 PM UTC
  • Location: Accor Arena, Paris, France

Game Overview

Welterweight bout between undefeated UFC newcomer Axel Sola and UFC veteran Rhys McKee, who has struggled in the UFC with a 1-4 record. Sola is favored due to his unbeaten MMA record (10-0-1) and momentum entering the UFC, while McKee shows solid striking volume but poor defense and inconsistent UFC results.

Key Factors to Consider

  • Sola boasts a perfect MMA record without any losses, suggesting strong form and confidence. McKee has shown striking volume (5.16 significant strikes/min with 44% accuracy) but also absorbs a high number of strikes (7.92/min) with below-average defense (46%), and has only one UFC victory in five bouts.
  • No prior head-to-head matchups exist between McKee and Sola, so historical data is unavailable. This UFC debut gives Sola the mental edge as a fresh, undefeated competitor versus the experienced but struggling McKee.
  • No reported current injuries for either fighter impacting performance or preparation.
  • Fight is in Sola’s UFC debut, a strong motivating factor. The bout takes place in Paris, which is neutral ground for both fighters, limiting home advantage effect.
  • Sola’s motivation is high to make a strong first impression and maintain his unbeaten streak, while McKee is likely motivated to rebound from his UFC struggles but has shown inconsistency recently.
