A.J. McKee Is WRAPPED With Debut Fight Despite Close Call..

Welcome back to Fighters Fury. A.J. McKee’s first fight at lightweight was a success, but it wasn’t without its problems. Not only did Spike Carlyle give McKee a run for his money for the duration of their entertaining 15-minute scrap at Bellator 286, but the former featherweight champion admits he could have made the transition to a new division easier on himself in the lead-up to the fight. “I didn’t cut weight properly, so that was kind of a factor as well. Little adjustments. Every fight you learn something, and I was just really taking in those couple of little key things.”

McKee estimates his current walk-around weight is nearly 180 pounds and that he was about 175 pounds on fight night. That’s up from the 160-165 pounds he estimates he would normally be at when stepping into the cage as a featherweight. As for what exactly went wrong, McKee said it is nothing to be concerned about and that it was mostly a dietary and procedural issue. On the topic of his diet, McKee showed off a freezer full of steak and ribs, key ingredients to building his new lightweight physique. He plans to manage that better going forward. Competing for Bellator since his pro debut in 2015, McKee started 18-0 competing as a featherweight, including a grand prix tournament triumph over Patricio Pitbull that earned him a championship belt and a $1 million prize. In related news, This past Saturday night at Bellator 286, we saw a wild fight in the co-main event. Former featherweight champion AJ McKee (19-1) made his lightweight debut when he took on the surging Spike Carlyle (14-4). Carlyle entered the fight on a five-fight winning streak and was out to make it a tough debut for McKee. He definitely made the fight tough on the former champion and he made it tough from the opening seconds. After this latest victory, McKee is back on track following his loss to Patricio Pitbull. McKee admitted that he went into a dark place after he lost the Bellator featherweight title. However, he looked rejuvenated on Saturday and now he’s back in the win column.
