AJ McKee currently has a big Bellator MMA title fight as he takes on Patricio ‘Pitbull' Freire in a rematch. There is a lot of beef in the fight and things are not slowing down as Patricky Freire has been getting involved as well.
AJ McKee admits he's normally respectful but the Pitbull brothers have been pushing him to step out of his shell. Stars in MMA are usually made with great rivalries.
“I’m gonna put out the same energy when I step in that cage,” McKee said during a recent presser to promote his Bellator MMA rematch against Freire (via MMA Junkie). “Other than that, I’m always respectful, but when you cross that line, you know, that’s the line. Things got to get dealt with. And, yeah, it’s no disrespect – nothing but respect.
“Obviously, things are a little bit different now,” he continued. “I’m the champ, so I like to carry myself a little bit differently. But the first fight was like picking at the brother, you know what I mean? This fight, I’m just looking forward to going out there and putting on a show. I’m looking forward to being champ-champ. His brother’s got the (lightweight) belt. A ‘Pitbull’ is a ‘Pitbull’ to me.”
Patricky Pitbull spoke up at the press conference and fired some shots of his own at the featherweight MMA champion. AJ McKee made sure to fire back at both of them.
“I’ll beat your brother and you again,” McKee told Patricio. “It’s gonna happen, bro. It’s gonna happen. It’s inevitable. I’m going to destroy the ‘Pitbull’ legacy. It will end with A.J. ‘Mercenary’ McKee.”
