Bellator 277: McKee vs Pitbull preview, weigh-in results

Bellator kicks off Easter weekend with a banger of a card featuring the light heavyweight tournament final and a hotly anticipated featherweight championship match between two of the absolute best the division has to offer.

After their initial showdown last July, AJ McKee (18-0) faces longtime Bellator standout Patricio Pitbull (32-5) in a rematch that carries a lot of weight. McKee won in style by submission, flustering the veteran former champ, but gets to solidify his status both as champ and as one of the true standout figures in the organization.

McKee still packs plenty of power and has extraordinary striking accuracy to complement his powerful and technical wrestling and his absolutely gorgeous submission ability.
