AJ McKee has voiced his admiration for Patricio Pitbull, acknowledging the significant respect he holds for the veteran fighter. However, McKee firmly believes that in their past encounters, he was the one who ascended to the status of Bellator’s greatest of all time (GOAT), effectively taking that mantle from Pitbull.
McKee’s statements suggest a nuanced view: he recognizes Pitbull’s legendary status and the impact he has had on the sport. Yet, from his perspective, the culmination of their rivalry marked a definitive shift in the hierarchy, with McKee establishing himself as the superior fighter and the true inheritor of the GOAT title within the Bellator organization.
This assertion highlights a competitive spirit and a confidence in his own achievements, even while extending a professional courtesy to a highly regarded opponent.
