AJ McKee meets Salamat Isbulaev in PFL featherweight bout June 27

Former Bellator champion AJ McKee will face undefeated Salamat Isbulaev on June 27th in San Diego. McKee is ranked #2 in the PFL featherweight division while Isbulaev sits at #6 despite being 10-0 overall. Isbulaev's PFL debut came against #3 ranked Jesus Pinedo, whom he finished in the first round, but he only moved to #6 in the rankings afterward. The post questions PFL's matchmaking approach, noting they are giving Isbulaev elite opposition without a proper buildup. This represents another high-stakes test for the undefeated fighter against one of PFL's top featherweights.
