McKee is down for some crossover fights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Mercenary&#8217; has been out of action since his rematch with Patricio Pitbull in April. Their first outing nearly a year prior saw McKee win the featherweight title by first-round submission. In the rematch, the Brazilian flipped the script and regained his championship by decision.<\/p>\n<p>Following the first loss of his career, the 27-year-old made the call to move up in weight. McKee is currently set to face UFC veteran Spike Carlyle at <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/bellator\/patricio-pitbull-vs-adam-borics-a-j-mckee-lightweight-debut-set-for-bellator-286\/\">Bellator 286<\/a> in October. The bout will be one of the last fights on the former champion&#8217;s contract.<\/p>\n<p>A.J. McKee has been vocal about wanting to be paid what he is worth. If it takes leaving Bellator, the former featherweight champion is willing to do that. One destination that he could land in is PFL.<\/p>\n<p>If he lands there, the 27-year-old already has a name in mind that he would like to face. McKee revealed in an interview with<em> Sports Illustrated<\/em> that he would love a clash with former UFC lightweight champion <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighters\/anthony-pettis\/\">Anthony Pettis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The former featherweight champion is also willing to fight &#8216;Showtime&#8217; in the Bellator cage as well.
