Derek Campos made a bold pick in the Bellator featherweight grand prix lottery Saturday night.
Campos had the No. 5 pick, and the first four fighters – A.J. McKee, Adam Borics, Daniel Weichel, and Darrion Caldwell – all picked different dates, meaning Campos could choose to fight any one of the four.
He went with McKee, who scored a ridiculous eight-second knockout of Georgi Karakhanyan at Bellator 228 about an hour before the selection process. There is a lot of hype behind McKee’s name, for good reason: he is a young, undefeated contender with a lot of momentum.
