Father and Son Make History at Bellator 228 | AJ & Antonio McKee Full Fights

Before AJ McKee returns to action at PFL Africa 1 to face Akhmed Magomedov, take a trip back to a truly rare moment in MMA history — when he shared a card with his father, Antonio McKee. At Bellator 228, the McKees stepped into the cage on the same night — and both delivered vintage performances.

AJ McKee vs Georgi Karakhanyan showed fans exactly why McKee Jr. became one of the most feared names in featherweight MMA. From the opening bell, he wasted no time, blitzing Karakhanyan with speed and power, earning one of the fastest finishes of his career. That knockout set the tone for AJ’s rise through the Bellator Grand Prix and continues to resonate as he transitions to the PFL.

Later that same night, Antonio McKee vs William Sriyapai gave fans a throwback performance from the veteran. Known for his wrestling and fight IQ, Antonio controlled the cage with poise, reminding the MMA world that the McKee legacy runs deep — both in experience and execution.

With AJ McKee vs Magomedov coming up at PFL Africa 1, now is the perfect time to revisit where it all came together — father and son, same night, two wins, one legacy. Watch both full fights here and get hyped for AJ’s next chapter under the PFL banner.
