Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Antonio "Mandingo" Mckee is signed to the UFC and I am a Happy Man

Photo

According to MMAJunkie, Antonio McKee has signed a 4 fight deal with the UFC. Needless to say, I'm a happy man about this. McKee has gone undefeated for over 7 years and had yet to receive a shot at the big show. Now it's time to put up or shut up and McKee has been doing a LOT of talking.

I'll have more thoughts about this tomorrow.

Now we can make the determination.

No reason to leave these questions unanswered.

It’s about damn time. It’s sad that he had to pull the “if this fight doesn’t get finished I’ll retire” line, then win by KO just to seal the deal, but he got the job done. Good for Mckee.

McKee . . .
  • McKee is 40. He is not in his primed but has experience.
  • The UFC LW is filled with wrestlers.
  • After all his talk about defeating Penn or Sherk, I accept nothing short of an undefeated streak in the UFC without excuses.
  • I WISH YOU WELL AND GOOD LUCK MR. McKEE. The work that he does in his community is very commendable.

McKee

Hasn’t taken damage in those 40 years, plus his fight career has big stretches where he took time off, plus, good Black don’t crack and he doesn’t even look 40

They aren’t filled with elite wrestlers. He’s the easily in the top 3 wrestlers now

I agree. It’s time to put up or shut up.

Me too. And that’s something that the UFC needs to push.

Props to him for achieving this

He has faced some relatively blah competition as of late and with his background, he probably will get somebody tough his first fight

Like somebody already said, this will show if he can back up what he says

Remember, if you don’t like him it’s because you’re racist. Don’t be so niggardly with praise.

He’s going to get fucking worked.

It's all about the matchup.

I’m curious to see who Joe Silva gives him.

You give him someone with no TDD, we know who wins

You give him a good BJJ guy, his grip is legendary and he’s hard to sub.

It’s got to be a great wrestling guy.

Is Tyson ready to go again?

I agree 100% with your assessment. The standard Zuffa gauntlet has to be doled-out wisely with him

Jab, jab, towards, short, fierce.

Griffin is fighting Nik Lentz in November

No reason not to scrap that fight and match him up against McKee.
