AJ McKee last fought for Bellator MMA on Dec. 4, 2015 at Bellator 147: "Thomson vs. Villaseca" in San Jose. The prodigy of veteran fighter Antonio McKee was on the Spike.com prelims that evening.

In hindsight, Bellator probably wishes it aired his fight on Spike TV.

The teenage phenom scored a technical knockout win with knees and punches at 3:19 of the first round, his third straight finish in the first round in Bellator MMA in 2015, improving his pro record to 3-0.

Bellator clearly realizes it has something to build on here and recently announced that McKee signed a multi-year contract extension to stay with the promotion.
