In a post fight interview following MFC 26 Antonio McKee called out some UFC lightweights,
I ‘m waiting for the UFC to release BJ [Penn] or Sean Sherk so I can tear their ass up, too.
Well according to sources McKee may not have to wait for their release. Apparently the UFC has offered him a four fight deal. The 40 year old McKee was on Sherdog Radio this afternoon and confirmed those reports that he is indeed in negotiations with the UFC.
When MMASucka.com contacted the obviously disappointed Pavelich he made his feelings clear and to the point,
It makes me sick! I spoke with Antonio yesterday and everything was cool.
At the old MMA age of 40, McKee has gone a very impressive 7 years, and 15 straight bouts without losing. Some say his shot at fighting in the UFC is long overdue. What is puzzling is if McKee does jump ship to the UFC and drops the MFC Lightweight title, why wasn’t there a championship clause in his contract to avoid situations like this? If this is McKee’s way of creating leverage for negotiations, don’t expect the MFC to get into a bidding war with the UFC.
