After A. J. McKee expressing his desire to one day fight for the UFC, organization president Dana White spoke about this possibility. The agent stated that it is still too early to think about such a hypothesis and said that he prefers to wait for the featherweight champion's (up to 65,7kg) contract with Bellator to end.

“I don’t know, we’ll see. When his contract ends, he'll have to call. We will see what we can do”, declared the president in an interview with 'TSN'.

In an interview after last Saturday's event (31), AJadmitted that he always wanted to face former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway . With his contract with Bellator nearing its end, the 'Mercenary' has already expressed his desire to be 'more valued' by the company chaired by Scott Coker.

Defending the Bellator gloves since the beginning of his career, AJ has 18 fights in professional MMA and is undefeated so far. McKee's coronation took place last Saturday (31), when the North American submitted the Brazilian Patrick Pitbull and won the organization's featherweight belt. In addition to becoming the new division champion, the 'Mercenário' also took home the US$ 1 million prize for winning the category's GP.
