LOS ANGELES –A.J. McKee and Nate Diaz could’ve come to blows one time in a hotel ballroom, so perhaps it makes sense to settle things inside the cage at some point.
“Run it up,” McKee told MMA Junkie on Thursday at Bellator 286 media day. “Like I said, I don’t turn down no fades, man. I’m in this for the long haul. I think that would be a good fight. I think it would be my first real huge fight into stardom.”
McKee and Diaz’s one encounter happened last December during the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley 2 weigh-ins when members of both fighters’ crews started jawing at each other and nearly incited a brawl. Things didn’t get out of control, but video shows that McKee especially was heated.
