If the stance was to 'move on' after the victory of Patrick Pitbull about A. J. McKee, Scott Coker, seems to change his tone when asked about the subject. In a press conference to promote the 278th edition of Bellator, the president stated that he wants to promote a trilogy, as long as the North American chooses to stay in the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg).

“I believe that if we can resolve the weight issue with AJ (McKee), this duel deserves to be a trilogy. It will depend on AJ. He is the fighter. We haven't had a real conversation about it yet, as the fight was on Friday and I came straight here (Hawaii) on Sunday. I haven't had a chance to talk to him or his father. But if he wants to do it, we definitely won't say no, because we think they should face each other again,” said Scott Coker.
Pitbull and McKee had two clashes, which were promoted as the best in franchise history. In the first meeting, which took place in July 2021, the North American 'walked' and submitted in the opening round. The Brazilian, however, got revenge in the rematch and won on points.
