A.J. McKee is getting another chance to take on Pat Curran.

The two have been booked to fight at Bellator 221 on May 11 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi confirmed with sources. McKee and Curran were booked to fight at Bellator 205 last September, but Curran was forced to withdraw due to an injury.

The bout was first reported by ESPN.

MMA Fighting also confirmed that McKee has signed a new multi-fight, multi-year deal with Bellator.

I like that they re-signed AJ. He wins this one and a title shot is guaranteed.

They are doing a FW tourny. This might end up being a 5 rounder if pitbull decides to participate similar to how the current WW tourny is designed. I expect this fight to be later annouced to be a opening round match of that 145lb tourny
