A.J. McKee Replaces James Gallagher at Bellator 187; ‘Baby Slice’ Draws Next Assignment

A.J. McKee has agreed to fill-in for an injured James Gallagher at Bellator 187, where he will meet Brian Moore in a makeshift main event on Nov. 10 at 3Arena in Dublin. Gallagher’s original opponent, Jeremiah Labiano, was moved to Bellator 188 to make room for Moore.

Widely regarded as one of the top featherweight prospects in the sport, McKee last competed at Bellator 182 in August, when he was awarded a three-round unanimous decision over journeyman Blair Tugman. The win moved the Team Bodyshop representative to 9-0 under the Bellator MMA flag, tying him with Ben Askren and Michael Chandler for the longest winning streak in the history of the organization.
