A.J. McKee just became the Bellator featherweight champion, but his days fighting at 145 pounds are already numbered.
After starting his career with a perfect 17-0 record, McKee needed less than two minutes to vanquish arguably the greatest Bellator fighter of all time in Patricio Pitbull. A head kick followed by a guillotine choke overwhelmed Pitbull before he was ever able to mount any kind of offense, and McKee followed up on a promise to dispatch the Brazilian in record time.
“I knew it was going to be a left kick,” McKee said when speaking to MMA Fighting following his win.
