On Wednesday (December 1), the promotion has announced that yet another phenomenal athlete will step on the mat to “hit a puff” before and after his High Rollerz 10 match(es)… AJ McKee, the current Bellator MMA featherweight champion!

McKee has an undefeated professional MMA record of 18-0 (13 of those have been finishes) – all of which he has accrued within Bellator. In that fashion, he has worked his way up through the Bellator’s featherweight division; crowning his winning spree with a submission against Patricio Freire in July 2021, and so earning the featherweight title. Since that win, he hasn’t competed.
McKee has no formal background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but it’s important to emphasize that 7 out of his 18 MMA wins have come via submission… Add to that the fact that he’s one of the promotion’s most dynamic fighters, and we have a combination that will certainly see McKee in an exciting match!
