AJ McKee and Dana White go way farther back than most of us could have imagined. In fact, the two have spoken to each other since A.J. was still a child. In A.J.’s childhood, the two had a bet. Sadly, it seems that Dana White may have forgotten all about the bet, however, McKee remembers the bet vividly…UFC Fighter Drops Oscar de la Hoya ‘Murder’ Bombshell.
A.J. McKee was only 13 years old when he met UFC president Dana White for the first time and the two placed a friendly bet on where McKee would be in the future.
Via Reddit and MMAJunkie, the following was stated by McKee: “Dana knows what’s up. Dana’s gonna owe me lunch soon. I had a bet with him that I was gonna be a world champ when I was a little kid. He probably don’t remember, but Dana’s gonna owe me lunch as soon as I get my belt.”
It was 2008 at a massive youth wrestling tournament in which the UFC collaborated with organizers, and White was in attendance. McKee was there with his father, Antonio, who was still fighting at the time. McKee remembers “Rampage” Jackson taking him into the backstage area where he saw a stack of free Xbox giveaway passes for the kids competing, so he took some. According to McKee, White saw and said something to him about it, which led to McKee telling White that he would one day be a world champion. If that happened, lunch was on White.
If McKee gets that belt, he stated: “I’m gonna want that lunch for sure, Dana, as soon as I get this belt.”
