Michael Lombardo vs. Kyle Crutchmer:
I'm picking to Lombardo in this fight. I think that this guy is underrated. Lombardo has a very good wrestling for the MMA and a striking very decent. Crutchmer just wants the takedown and his striking is very bad. I think that Lombardo can stops the takedowns Crutchmer's.

Timothy Johnson vs. Linton Vassell:
Vassell is the best striker in this fight, but he now most looking the takedowns and he gassed. I think Johnson will have it in second or third round with a TKO by ground and pound.

I doubted McKee big time, thought Pitbull would steam roll him. I think AJ may have his number, that first fight wasn't just a fight it was a huge statement by McKee. I think he finishes him again, but a number of fighters have lost the first fight by TKO or sub, and then come back to win the rematch so who knows.

I think Dana will pay McKee if he runs through Pitbull and then beats Holloway or Ortega pretty handily. It will be the same situation as Michael Chandler because I don't think that White is too impressed with Pitbull. He's definitely been dismissive about Pitbull and Bellator in general during the post-fight press conferences. I think it's the fact that they have a deal with Showtime and doesn't respect anyone that makes deals with Showtime or may just be that he's not a fan of Coker.

In his interview with Helwani, AJ said he wants at least a million per fight, I don't if that's a negotiation tactic or a real number, but Dana wouldn't give that to a guy from another promotion. Especially one whose father was in Jake Paul's diss track of him. You know Dana holds a grudge. I personally think he's worth that, he could be a top 3 FW for a while and the guy isn't afraid to **** talk and loves the media and attention so I think he wouldn't do a bad job selling PPVs.

1 mil for a debutant would be absurd. I don’t think he would be fighting in any org for a million dollars. I’m sure he could get a fat contract from the ufc but 1 mil is crazy talk

If Michael Chandler, Eddie Alvarez, and Ben Askren didn't get close to making a million in the UFC, then neither is AJ McKee lol

That guy would probably have to KO the entire Bellator roster for Dana to consider giving him anywhere close to a million

AJ McKee has to become popular with casual fans to have a chance at the UFC signing him. And I think he has the charisma and star power to be headed in the right way.
