Bellator MMA has long prided itself on developing homegrown talent, and no one embodies that approach better than A.J. McKee.

One of 45 undefeated fighters on the Bellator roster, McKee owns a perfect 16-0 record and has emerged as a Top 15 featherweight in the sport. All 16 of his victories have taken place inside the Scott Coker-led promotion, including first-round finishes against Georgi Karakhanyan, Daniel Crawford, John Teixeira, Dominic Mazzotta, Danilo Belluardo, J.T. Donaldson, James Barnes and Marcos Bonilla. McKee last competed at Bellator 236 on Dec. 21, when he submitted Derek Campos with an armbar in the featherweight grand prix quarterfinals. The “Mercenary” trains out of the Team Bodyshop camp in Lakewood, California, where he sharpens his skills under his father, Antonio McKee.
