Bragging rights are on the line when the best fighters from the Professional Fighters League and Bellator MMA face off on February 24. In Saudi Arabia, the event airs on ESPN+ in the U.S. and DAZN outside it.
Current and former champions, title contenders, and several big names will compete on the card. An eye opening fight will be former Bellator champion A.J. McKee vs. Clay Collard. Son of former MMA fighter Antonio McKee, A.J. was a top Bellator prospect at one point.. Collard is a boxer and former PFL Championship finalist.
McKee looked sharp when introduced at the press conference, the first appearance of Bellator fighters since the PFL acquired the promotion. He believes Bellator fighters will have the edge when they enter the cage.
“Clay said ‘PFL acquired Bellator,’ so there’s a big chip on these (PFL) guys’ shoulders already. But at the end of the day, us Bellator fighters – we’re coming for business," McKee told MMA Junkie. "At the press conference, it showed – we’re all suited and booted. These (PFL) guys are comfortable having fun, dressed up in f------ movie football jerseys and stuff. We’re coming for business, at the end of the day, and I think that’s the difference that’s going to set us apart when it comes to fight night.”
