The Derry native takes on the man with the longest winning streak in Bellator history
Paul Hughes will face AJ McKee in a massive lightweight showdown on the Professional Fighters League's Super Fight - Battle of the Giants card next month.
The Derry native takes on the man with the longest winning streak in Bellator history as he aims to add to his knockout win over Bobby King on his Bellator debut at the 3Arena back in June. The card is headlined by Francis Ngannou , who is making his highly anticipated return to the sport of MMA. “The Predator” faces the most-feared fighter in PFL, 6-foot-8 PFL Heavyweight Champion Renan “Problema” Ferreira for the newly minted PFL Super Fights Championship Belt.
