AJ McKee (24-2, ranked #2 lightweight) will face Salamat Isbulaev (10-0, ranked #6) on June 27 in San Diego. The post expresses confusion about PFL matchmaking for Isbulaev, who debuted against #3 ranked Jesus Pineda and finished him in the first round but only received a #6 ranking. Now he faces former Bellator champion McKee without any easier fights to build momentum. The author questions why Isbulaev is being given such a difficult path to the title and why his ranking hasn't improved after beating higher-ranked opponents.
