I’m a little surprised to see a slight advantage for mckee jr in the picks. I’m going with pitbull but I can’t pretend to act like I know for sure who’s gonna win this one besides the fight fans.

@LooseCannon

Overall, I'd say that this is a much stronger card than the UFC this week so I'll be watching this instead.

Pitbull is too tough to be KO'd and too crafty to be submitted, but I do think he'll be outlanded and lose a split decision that he calls ******** on forever.

Been thinking about this fight a lot, and I don't think McKee has faced adversity at all in his career, or been hit hard or even put in a tough spot. If there is a man to beat him, it's Pitbull. I can't say for sure, but the depth in their careers is so different.

@flying_frontkick the same thing could be said about Khabib, it's because he's been dominant enough that nobody has had the chance. You're absolutely correct that Pitbull could be the one to change that though

Khabib had been tested a little we could say in the Tibau fight but yeah that wasn't a dangerous fight strike wise, he was tested however I believe because his competition was much higher, he just is that good and we gotta consider he built his record in the 155 shark division of the UFC.

AJ McKee has all the tools, he has everything, but as far as dominance, there is a much bigger gap in skill in opponents they have beaten. Khabib made Justin look like an amateur, possibly McKee could too, though. 

I believe McKee's chin cracks or what you said in taking a decision.

all I know is I don't trust low testo black dudes. I didn't recognize a single name in McKee's record but I'm a filthy casual so what the hell do I know. McKee looks like a rapper tho not a fighter.
