About AJ McKee — PFL mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athlete

AJ McKee is an elite active MMA fighter and PFL main-event athlete with a strong California identity and a proven track record of highlight-reel wins. He brings built-in combat-sports credibility, a hard-edged brand, and audience appeal that fits performance, fashion, and lifestyle campaigns looking for an authentic athlete partnership.


Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 At just 25 years old, AJ is one of the fastest rising stars in MMA. With a professional record of 16-0; AJ has already established himself as the future of the Bellator MMA Featherweight (145 lbs) division. He is currently ranked as the number #9 featherweight in Bellator and has set numerous records for the division. These records include most consecutive victories in Bellator MMA history (16), most submission wins in Bellator Featherweight history (5), most stoppage victories in Bellator Featherweight division history (11) and is tied with current Featherweight Champion, Patricio Freire, for most knockout victories in Bellator Featherweight division history (6). AJ is next set to compete in the semifinals of the Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix tournament later in 2020. AJ is trained by his father, Antonio McKee, who not only was a fighter himself but has trained some of the legends of MMA such as Chuck Liddell, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and former UFC champion Tyrone Woodley. They train out of his father’s gym BodyShop Fitness in Long Beach California. AJ and his father Antonio also made history at Bellator 228 in September of 2019. They became the first father and son to compete on the same fight card. They would both go on to win that night, with AJ scoring a knockout in just 8 seconds.
