Last night A.J. McKee (8-0) scored arguably the most impressive win of his young career when he KO'd Dominic Mazzotta (12-2) with head kick in just over a minute into round one.

Following the victory McKee put old rival James Gallagher on blast.
"The 'Mercenary's' back. I was getting bored when I didn't have a fight, partying a little you know, I am only 22, dropped out of college. You know, that college lifestyle isn't really for me. I knew what I had to do and now I am completely focused and ready to go. It's my time." McKee said after his win (via Bellator press release). "James Gallagher called me out, so I am just being a businessman and whooping the guy who called me out on national television. The fact that he went and signed another contract to fight someone else just tells me that he's scared."
AJ McKee and Gallagher have been sharing words ever since Bellator's debut show in Ireland where the SBG prospect defeated McKee's teammate. Many thought that they were going to fight each other next but both men were assigned different opponents. Gallagher fights Chinzo Machida next at Bellator NYC.
