Following the win, there was a lot of chatter as to how McKee would fare against the best at 145-pounds in the UFC. Max Holloway, Brian Ortega, and Alexander Volkanovski being a few of the names mentioned.

During the post-fight press conference, Coker shared his thoughts on a potential cross-promotional fight between McKee and a UFC featherweight champion. He said, “Yeah I mean, I would love to see him fight against other people as well you guys would also. It is not going to happen because it is not the UFC’s business model to do it. But you tell me, this kid can go in there and fight anybody right now. Everybody knows he can do it. If they want to get it on, we will do it in a second.”

However, Dana White has shot down the idea of a cross-promotional event multiple times in the past stating that he does not need Bellator. White has maintained this stance for a very long time now and it does not look like it will change anytime soon. However, if there was ever an opportunity and a fighter to take on in a cross-promotional event, A.J McKee is most-definitely the right guy for it.
