Bellator 286 is set to feature former featherweight rivals, Patricio Pitbull and A.J. McKee – however, despite links to a Long Beach trilogy rubber match, the promotional standouts will not share the cage with each other.
In lieu, recently minted featherweight champion, Pitbull, will attempt his first title defense since defeating McKee back in April, drawing the surging Hungarian contender, Adam Borics at Bellator 286 on October 1. in California.
And as for the hometown favorite, McKee, the former undisputed featherweight champion and Grand Prix tournament victor will share the cage with UFC and Rizin FF alum, Spike Carlyle – making his lightweight division bow. News of the Bellator 286 doubleheader featuring Patricio Pitbull and A.J. McKee was first reported by the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Sharing a distinct rivalry, Patricio Pitbull initially clashed with McKee in the featherweight Grand Prix finale back in July of last year, dropping his undisputed featherweight title in a first round high kick and subsequent standing guillotine submission loss.
In an immediate title rematch, the veteran, decorated Brazilian headliner Bellator 277 against champion, McKee in April, defeating the Californian in a unanimous decision-earning effort. The loss came as the ever-present Bellator feature, McKee’s first professionally.
As for incoming featherweight title chaser, Borics, improved to 18-1 as a professional back in March of this year, defeating fellow European standout, Mads Burnell with a unanimous decision headlining win at Bellator 276.
For Carlyle, the charismatic, San Diego finisher makes his Bellator return against McKee, off the back of an impressive second round guillotine win against Koji Takeda under the Rizin FF banner back in April in Japan.
14-3 as a professional with seven submission wins to go with six other knockout victories, Carlyle has previously competed for LFA and Cage Warriors to boot, and laned a knockout win over Aalon Cruz in his UFC bow back in February 2020.
Spike Carlyle got a massive submission win at RIZIN 35. Carlyle made his RIZIN debut over the weekend after submitting Dan Moret in Bellator but opted to sign with the Japanese-based promotion instead.

Spike Carlyle got a massive submission win at RIZIN 35.
Carlyle made his RIZIN debut over the weekend after submitting Dan Moret in Bellator but opted to sign with the Japanese-based promotion instead. Carlyle had spoken about his goal was to fight in Japan and on the weekend, he got his wish as he fought Koji Takeda at RIZIN 35.
On the card, Carlyle was fighting Takeda who is a RIZIN and DEEP veteran and was 13-2 entering the fight. However, ‘The Alpha Ginger’ got the fight to the ground in the second and had a nasty guillotine that put Takeda out cold. The 26-year-old decided not to tap and instead went to sleep which gave Carlyle the massive win.
As mentioned, Carlyle has spoken about wanting to compete in Japan for RIZIN years and now he got his wish. Not only did he get to compete in Japan but he got a stoppage win to go along with it.
“My heart has always been set for Japan, for Rizin,” Carlyle said after his win. “It would be an amazing thing to win a belt in Japan and come over to Bellator and compete for the world title here, as well. … I’ll go wherever the good Lord takes me.”
With the win, Spike Carlyle improved to 14-3 as a pro and is on a five-fight win streak since his UFC departure. The fan-favorite won his debut by TKO over Aalon Cruz but suffered back-to-back decision losses to Billy Quarantillo and Bill Algeo in the UFC and was released.
After the release, he picked up a win in LFA, Ballys Fight Night, Cage Warriors, and Bellator. But now, the home for Carlyle is RIZIN and he will look to make a run up the ranks to an eventual title shot.
