Bellator 166 and 167 come to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. on Dec. 2 and Dec. 3, respectively. The latter card has already seen two main event fights scrapped due to injury, so the former may have been overdue to be bitten by the bug, too.
Although it's not the main event of Bellator 166, A.J. McKee vs. Emmanuel Sanchez was a key bout for the Featherweight division. The young McKee is 5-0 but had yet to be truly tested in a Bellator fight. The gritty Sanchez is 13-3 and would be on a four fight win streak were it not for Daniel Weichel.
