The fourth time proves to be the charm for Rhys McKee.

While Frunza opened up with heavy crosses, it didn't take long for McKee to find his rhythm. He quickly dropped Frunza in the first minute with a right hand, going on to drop Frunza four times in a five-minute span. McKee's perfectly timed counters and combinations helped him dominate the first round, putting a beating on Frunza.

The beating was so bad, in fact, that a notable bloody cut could be seen around one of Frunza's eyes, leaving it a mess. It wasn't until the round's end that it was noticed that Frunza also had a split lip.

Frunza showed heart and survived the round; however, the cageside physician quickly called off the fight in the corner.

McKee, the former Cage Warriors welterweight champion, was defeated by Khamzat Chimaev, Ange Loosa, and Chidi Njokuani prior to tonight's performance.

This marked Frunza's first fight since defeating Vadym Kutsyi on Dana White's Contender Series in September.
