The Bellator cage is heading back to Thackerville, Oklahoma this winter. And this time features one of the promotion's fastest rising talents.
Fresh off his win over Cody Walker at Bellator 160 in August, A.J. McKee will return to action against Emmanuel Sanchez on Dec. 2, the promotion announced on Friday during a call to introduce its newest roster member, Chael Sonnen. The fight will take place at the WinStar World Casino and Resort, a familiar destination for the Bellator brand.
The hot prospect McKee (5-0) has fought all of his professional bouts in Bellator, ringing up first round victories in all but one of them.
