If you were disappointed in Patricio Pitbull’s latest title defense, you’re not alone. Pitbull’s arch-rival, former featherweight champ AJ Mckee, blasted Pitbull’s performance at Bellator 286 on a recent episode of The MMA Hour. Specifically, as far as AJ McKee is concerned, it “sucked ass”.
“It sucked ass, bro. That [fight] was horrible. He talks about how he’s a professional and my fight was like a backyard brawl scrap. Bro, it’s a mixed martial arts fight. If you fight from the hood then you’re going to get a hood fight. If you want to be technical, then be technical.
AJ McKee: Pitbull’s Title Defense “Sucked Ass”
But you can’t talk about you’re a technical fighter when you’re poking people in the eye. And then when they tell the ref they get poked in the eye, you want to swing on them. Nah, alright, bet. You’re going to get a hood scrap every time. There ain’t no respect for that dude.
What did he do? He wrestled. That’s cool. I can do that too. He couldn’t stop my takedown. He didn’t attempt to take me down, because he can’t take me down. Dude’s wrestling’s garbage.”
McKee and Pitbll are 1-1 in their two fights,and McKee definitely wants to settle the score with a trilogy. “I think it should [be next].
For his legacy, for my legacy. If it doesn’t, whatever. Like I said, bigger and better things, that’s what I’m on to. I would love to make it happen. It should happen. I think it’s what the people want. I think it’s what I want.
I don’t know if it’s what he wants, but one and one, I think we need to settle this, you know? Can’t leave the game open.”
Mckee continued, pointing out that he’s in prime fighting shape and ready to fight as soon as possible. “For me, I’m ready.
I’m not beat up, I’m not scratched up. That’s my whole thing, I want to be as active as possible. Obviously, if I get banged up a little I’m going to take some time off. But there’s no days off. You’ve got to just keep grinding and keep going and going and going.
I’m 27 years old, I’m entering my prime and that’s what I’m looking forward to. Just putting on great shows and getting some more brawls in there.”
