In case there was any doubt left at all, A.J. McKee is legit. And you can remove the phrase “prospect” before his name once and for all. McKee (17-0 MMA, 17-0 BMMA) found himself facing both a former Bellator bantamweight champion and an NCAA champion wrestler in Darrion Caldwell in the main event of Bellator 253 on Thursday night. And the undefeated McKee wasted little time showing he was up to the biggest challenge of his career in Bellator’s featherweight grand prix in the semifinals. A textbook neck crank got the job done in just 1:11 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
