Adam Borics Declares The Big Statement He Wants to Make at PFL Madrid

# Adam Borics Declares The Big Statement He Wants to Make at PFL Madrid

The stage is set for a high-stakes clash in the featherweight division as Adam Borics prepares to lock horns with AJ McKee at PFL Madrid this March 20th. For fans who have followed the careers of these two elite athletes, this matchup feels long overdue, representing a pivotal moment in the division's hierarchy.

For years, speculation has swirled around the two fighters. During McKee’s tenure as the Bellator featherweight champion, conversations frequently turned to Borics as the hungry challenger waiting in the wings. While a title fight between the two was teased in the past, circumstances—including Patricio "Pitbull" Freire’s quest for a rematch—prevented the encounter from materializing until now.

In a recent interview with *Bowks Talking Bouts*, Borics reflected on the long road to this matchup.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time. I think we both have eyes on each other [for a] long time and he was the [Bellator MMA] champ,” Borics stated. “I [was] supposed to fight against him for the title and after, [Patricio] Pitbull wanted his rematch. So, I just want to fight against the best guys and I think he’s on the top [of] the division now. When I beat him, I [am] going to make a statement.”

The anticipation surrounding the fight is bolstered by the lack of forced animosity between the two men. Unlike many modern MMA matchups that rely on manufactured drama to sell tickets, the Borics vs. McKee fight carries the weight of pure athletic ambition. Both men are recognized for their technical prowess and willingness to engage, making the contest a dream booking for purists.

When asked about his mental preparation and whether he has a specific vision for how the fight will conclude in Spain, the Hungarian contender remained confident but tight-lipped regarding the specifics.

“I have a clear vision on this fight, but what can I say?” Borics noted. “I [am] going to make a statement, definitely.”

As PFL heads to Madrid, the pressure is squarely on both fighters to deliver. For Borics, a win over a high-caliber opponent like McKee is more than just a victory—it is a declaration of his status as the division’s true elite. Fans will get their answer on March 20th as these two titans finally collide in the cage.
