"Professional Fighters League CEO John Martin announced on Wednesday that McKee (23-2), a former Bellator MMA featherweight champion, had signed a new contract to remain with the promotion. McKee was one of the big names to come over from Bellator when the PFL absorbed the rival MMA promotion after acquiring it over a year ago. In 25 fights, McKee has just two losses, to former Bellator double-champ Patricio Pitbull, and PFL lightweight contender Paul Hughes."
"The 30-year old, son of lightweight pioneer Antonio McKee, claimed featherweight gold under the Bellator banner with a win over Pitbull, capping off an 18-0 start to his professional mixed martial arts career. He'd lose the title back to the Brazilian in his next fight, and eventually make the move up to lightweight. McKee holds notable wins over Pitbull, RIZIN champ Roberto "Satoshi" de Silva, UFC vet and PFL finalist Clay Collard, and former Bellator champs Darrion Caldwell and Pat Curran, among others."
