A.J. McKee continued his featherweight dominance last night (Sat., Sept. 28, 2019) at Bellator 228 live on DAZN from inside The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., with a beautiful eight-second knockout finish over veteran Georgi Karakhanyan. It was the second fastest finish in Bellator MMA history.
McKee wasted no time rushing in for an exchange with Karakhanyan. A perfectly-timed overhand left landed for McKee and Georgi toppled to the ground. That’s when McKee blasted Karakhanyan with heavy ground-and-pound and put the Russian out.

With this performance, McKee pushes his undefeated professional record to 15-0 as he etches his name in the Bellator record books. This win over Karakhanyan now pushes McKee into the second round of the Featherweight World Grand Prix tournament where the 24-year-old can prove yet again that he’s ready for anyone at 145 pounds.
