AJ McKee says Patricky Pitbull was ‘gifted’ the lightweight Bellator belt

AJ McKee didn’t hold back his feelings for the “Pitbull” brothers in an exclusive interview.

Former Bellator featherweight champion AJ McKee is now looking for a new route to the belt. After losing his title to Patrício Pitbull in April, McKee was looking for an immediate rematch. Unfortunately for him No rematch was given. That The loss came in what was actually a rematch of his title win, and that’s how McKee stayed in the air.

With no title shot at 145 pounds, he now has his sights set on an easy title. Standing in the way of the 155-pound gold is another “pit bull”, Patrício’s brother Patricky. The elder Freire brother won the lightweight title after being vacated by his brother. Now McKee wants to take out the whole family.

“You know, a pit bull is a pit bull,” McKee said fan side. “So I’m looking forward to fighting his brother. He was given the title, I won’t call him champion because to become a champion you have to beat the champion and he didn’t beat the champion. That’s sort of the tentative title for me if you ask me, and my personal opinion.”

McKee has his sights set on another title and another Freire Brother

McKee isn’t on a crash course with Freire yet. His next Bellator fight will be against Spike Carlyle on October 1st at the Bellator 286.

“Fk Pitbulls. They’re like Chihuahuas,” McKee said. “I have no respect for him. At first I had a lot of respect, but my respect is gone. fuck her Excuse my language, but I don’t respect it, brother. As you saw, after I won, I got on my knees. I will show respect. You win, now all of a sudden I’m not getting a rematch. You fight Borics and this and that. And then his brother, I just don’t have any respect for him. Like they both suck.”

It seems McKee will have an ongoing feud with the Freire brothers in whatever divisions he chooses to fight in. With a win at Bellator 286, he could soon have an event to take on Particky for the lightweight strap.
