UKSVL, Conn. – If the fight is successful, it will be the hottest in ballet history: Featherweight champion Patricio Freer vs. Undefeated Rising Star AJ McKee, Ballet in the Featherweight Grand Prix Finals.
McKee (17-0 MMA, 17-0 BMMA) has already dropped his ticket to the semifinal main event of the Bellator 253 on Thursday night, with the sensational neck crank of former bantamweight champion Darian Caldwell.
The company’s lightweight freer will also have to recapture the previous Emmanuel Sanchez in the tournament semifinals and title defense on a TBD date. But Pitbull wasted no time in commenting on McKee’s victory.
Appreciating the fryer’s tweet by MMA Junkie during a post-fight news conference at the Mohegan Sun Arena, McKee first made a long-term, then left no doubt as to what he thought of his potential rival’s words.
“He wasn’t a guillotine idiot, he had nothing to do with his throat,” McKee said. “It was a shoulder crank. Assuming you are Brazilian, you obviously don’t know about Jiu-Jitsu (Explative). I can’t wait to get his ass removed, honestly. This (explosive) is long overdue. He takes it personally, but it’s not as personal as I said. He had a great career, but the ’45, ’55 titles. I wish it period, back period.
The Pitbulls still have their part to play in this fight, but McKee is already there. He didn’t want to give up too many secrets even after his bizarre finish, but said he was working on a neck crank in the gym, and he was OK with former NCAA champion wrestler Caldwell, so he took him to the mat. It can set up.
“I can’t leave my game, but I’ve found a lot of things that I’m working on that don’t expose me to the cage.” “Front headlocks, it’s bread and butter for me, it’s part of my series, believe me. So I just, that’s something I’ve been doing since I was a kid, wrestling for front headlocks. I said when it I wasn’t even trying to defend him when he wanted a takedown so once he hit it, sort it out and let’s find out where we’re going to move from there.
With that, Mackie improved to 17-0 with the 12th finish of his career. McKee admitted that he keeps an eye on these matters.
“It’s a statistic for me, the best of the best,” McKee said. “How many thrashings did Kobe (Bryant) have? That’s statistics for me. How many finish in the first round? I think it’s 12 finishes, in the first round 10. For me it’s all statistics man, it’s all about statistics, I’ll continue to finish, go back and check out the interview that I said at the beginning of the tournament that I’m 4-for -4 am finishing all. “
