The scary part for A.J. McKee is that he keeps doing the things he said he would. It makes him wonder. Am I really this good? Is my success the result of a faith I can’t quite pinpoint? Is it God-given or natural talent? A learned skill? Is this a byproduct of a belief in myself?
“Every time I get goosebumps when I say I’m going to do something. I know it’s going to happen,” McKee told Sherdog.com. “Or if I have a dream. I know it’s going to happen.”
Undefeated after 17 fights, McKee’s next chance to test the Goosebump Principle comes Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, California, where the Los Angeles-born-and-bred mixed martial artist challenges the most dominant fighter to ever lace up a pair of Bellator MMA-branded gloves.
