John Macapa wants Aaron Pico after Bellator 205 main event with A.J. McKee

John Macapa enters his first Bellator main event with a specific plan in mind Friday night.

Looking to rebound from decision losses to Daniel Weichel and Pat Curran, two of the best featherweights in the promotion roster, Macapa takes on rising prospect A.J. McKee in a three-round clash at Bellator 205 in Boise. McKee brings a perfect 11-0 record to the cage with all of those taking place under the Bellator banner.

The experienced Brazilian, who replaced Pat Curran against McKee, believes he’s at a different level, but feels that Bellator wants him to lose to the 23-year-old talent.
