Get ready for a thrilling chapter in the world of MMA! AJ McKee, the former featherweight champion, is back with a bang and ready to shake things up!
McKee, a force to be reckoned with, has signed a new multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), solidifying his commitment to the organization. This move comes after an impressive run in Bellator, where he claimed the featherweight title and boldly declared himself as the best in the division, across all promotions.
But here's where it gets controversial... McKee's journey took an interesting turn when he ventured into the lightweight division, only to return to featherweight under the PFL banner. And this is the part most people miss: McKee's confidence never wavered, even after a loss to Paul Hughes, as he made a spectacular comeback in Cape Town, defeating Akhmed Magomedov, a protege of the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Now, with a new contract in hand, McKee's future looks set in the SmartCage. But what about his bold statement about taking on UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski? Will we ever see this highly anticipated matchup?
As McKee's career progresses, it seems the chances of a UFC crossover diminish, especially with 'Alexander the Great' nearing retirement. So, will McKee's claim to be the best featherweight stand the test of time, or is there a chance for a surprise twist in the tale?
What do you think, MMA enthusiasts? Should McKee stay put in the PFL, or is there still a chance for a UFC showdown? Let's discuss in the comments and explore the possibilities!
