CHICAGO – If an example of homegrown Bellator talent needs identifying, A.J. McKee might be the most prime.
In the cage Friday at Bellator 301, McKee (21-1 MMA, 21-1 BMMA) partook in his 22nd Bellator bout. He’s never competed under any other promotional banner as a professional.
McKee, 28, admits Bellator has largely become part of his identity. Bellator president Scott Coker has long praised McKee. He often proudly describes the development of McKee throughout the organization.
