According to [this

supposed to be Osaka dialect. But now it is very popular expression for entire
Japanese.

かかってこんかい can be divided into `かかって` `こ` **`ない`** `か` **`よ`**

> かかってこないか

This sounds too polite but it directly means like `why don't you bring it
on?`. Depending on the context, it also sounds like `I thought you're going to
bring it on, but you did not`.

> かかってこないか _よ_

By adding 'よ' at the end of this line it adds kind of exclamation, though this
also sounds too polite and awkward.

> かかってこんかい

Changing the form from `ないかよ` to `んかい`, it sounds very natural, modern and
young language and it makes this line energetic.  
It also makes the line more provocative, especially considering the original
meaning of 'かかってこい'. Just like `How dare you don't bring it on?`

By the way, we also often use this expression in Japanese comedy or such
situation. When person A('boke') pretending to do something, but he/she didn't
do in the end. Person B('tsukkomi') typically says `やらんか〜〜い`.  
In this case, `(ん)かい` emphasizes the surprise feeling that person A didn't do
that, and it makes us laugh.
