Former Bellator featherweight champion, AJ McKee, loves the idea of facing former UFC star Nate Diaz at some point in the future.
McKee spoke with MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn during the media day for Bellator 286 on Thursday ahead of his lightweight debut against Spike Carlyle and expressed his interest in facing Diaz one day under the Bellator banner.
“Run it up,” McKee said. “Like I said, I don’t turn down no fades, man. I’m in this for the long haul. I think that would be a good fight. I think it would be my first real huge fight into stardom. Ain’t no hard feelings, but he can get Long Beach slapped. I could get Stockton slapped. Let’s see who slaps harder. I think he’s gonna probably be boxing. It’s more ideal. He’s been through a lot, man. I’ve been watching him since I was a kid. He’s a great performer, great fighter. He’s just doing his thing.”
