After a long and utterly sensational path, the Bellator featherweight tournament concludes this weekend with what is unarguably one of the hottest fights anywhere. Dual champ Patricio Pitbull (32-4) takes on surging wünderkind AJ McKee (17-0).
With wins over Pedro Carvalho and Emmanuel Sanchez, Pitbull extended his win streak to seven, solidified his status as champion and continues to hold one of the most impressive legacies in the sport. McKee stunned veteran Georgi Karakhanyan in the opening round, submitted Derek Campos and then made short work of former champ Darrion Caldwell.
Pitbull has everything to succeed with a well-rounded game and a ton of power, great cardio and an ability to work off his back if his takedown game fails him.
