One of Bellator MMA's brightest young prospects has his next assignment, though it may not be the fight he wants.
Monday, Bellator revealed that undefeated A.J. McKee will return to action at Bellator 182, set for Aug. 25 at Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York. “The Mercenary” will take on Blair Tugman in a featherweight contest.
The McKee-Tugman bout will be part of the Bellator 182 main card, which airs live on Spike following the card's preliminaries streaming on Spike.com. The event is headlined by a welterweight clash between former Bellator champion Andrey Koreshkov and Chidi Njokuani.
