James Gallagher didn’t mince words after his Bellator 173 victory.
Tonight (Feb. 24), Gallagher entered the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland with an undefeated record. That unbeaten streak remained intact. Gallagher made short work of Kirill Medvedovsky, submitting him in the first round.
After the fight, Bellator color commentator Jimmy Smith spoke to “The Strabanimal.” SBG Ireland’s featherweight prospect didn’t have any kind words for fellow prospect A.J. McKee:
“A.J. McKee, you’re a f*cking p*ssy and you’re next. I’m gonna strangle you. You come here, b*tching out on your teammate? Come here and I’ll f*cking show you who’s real. I’m real and you’re getting done.”
The official Twitter account of Bellator posted Gallagher’s rant on McKee. You can watch it below:
