It couldn't be called a homecoming since A.J. McKee, 562 born and raised, has never really left Long Beach.

No, what happened Saturday night inside Long Beach Arena was a house party.

McKee weathered a furious early storm from Spike Carlyle en route to a punishing and dominant unanimous-decision victory in the Bellator 286 co-main event.

The judges scored it 2926, 30-26, 30-27 for McKee, who was making his lightweigh­t debut after moving up in weight upon losing the featherwei­ght title in his only loss in April.

McKee, 27, didn't just have the crowd on its feet from the moment he walked out to Long Beach anthem “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg. The Long Beach Poly grad had them in his hands, albeit when his 4-ounce gloves weren't administer­ing punishment on Carlyle.

Not receiving the memo was Carlyle (19-4), who bullrushed McKee from their first steps with a flying knee and swinging wildly. McKee did his best to evade and trade, eventually ending up on his back but delivering nasty elbows from his back to bust open Carlyle.

The second round, with McKee able to catch his breath and start over, was all McKee. A right and a knee stunned Carlyle, with McKee following those with a left. McKee later took him down and had him in a prolonged front facelock, taking the opportunit­y to twerk over his opponent to the fans' delight.

In the third round, McKee appeared to have chances to sink in submission­s on Carlyle, opting instead to continue to pummel and dice him up. The fight ended with McKee virtually unmarked and Carlyle a bloody mess.

McKee can now take aim at the Bellator Lightweigh­t World Grand Prix recently announced by CEO Scott

Coker, just 14 months after winning the featherwei­ght belt and the $1 million Bellator Featherwei­ght World Grand Prix.

Carlyle, 29, fighting out of Orange, came in on a five-fight win streak in four promotions on the heels of a 1-2 run in the UFC, in which he won his debut in early 2020 via first-round TKO and became known for his wild, high-octane performanc­es.

Carlyle missed weight first by a pound Friday morning and then by 0.6 pounds one hour later, resulting in a rant about the accuracy of the scale and the California State Athletic Commission. He was fined 20% of his purse.
