“I’m going to show him that I’m a big boy” – A.J. McKee
Speaking to MMA Junkie, A.J. McKee was quoted as saying, “This is my division. I’m going to send him back to the ’35-pound division. No hard feelings or nothing, but this is the big boy league, and I’m going to show him that I’m a big boy. … It’s nothing personal. We’ll see each other in the lobby, and he’ll growl like a wolf, and I’ll laugh. It’s fun and games. It’s partially entertainment, as well. We’ve got to make it entertaining for the fans. But for me, as long as there’s no disrespect, we’re good. Inside or outside the cage, we’re cool. But the second that disrespect happens, you’re going to have to bring the monster out of me that I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to deal with.”
Chael Sonnen weighs-in!
Chael Sonnen, the former UFC star gave his opinion saying, “I think McKee is going to win. I think it’s going to be a hard fight though.
