AJ McKee vs Salamat Isbulaev set for June 27 in San Diego

AJ McKee (24-2, ranked #2) will face Salamat Isbulaev (10-0, ranked #6) on June 27 in San Diego. The post expresses confusion over PFL's matchmaking strategy for Isbulaev. In his PFL debut, Isbulaev knocked out #3-ranked Jesus Pinedo in the first round but was only ranked #6 afterward. Now he faces McKee, a former Bellator champion and one of PFL's strongest fighters. The author questions why Isbulaev is being fast-tracked against elite competition without easier fights to build momentum, and why he remains ranked #6 instead of #3.
