Who's next for Rory MacDonald if the Mousasi fight don't materialize?

Who will he defend his belt if the Mousasi fight didn't materialize?

 

[lukeuidswords]

Fitch or Koreshkov imo

 

[tehMoose]

Koreshkov

 

[fermaPY]

Koreshkov....

 

[qw3rty]

No doubt it should be Andrei and IMO is a tougher fight than Lima

 

[Enigma87]

Koreshkov for sure, while Fitch should fight Lima for next shot

 

[Spekty]

I'd like to see Rory vs MVP or Koreshkov,I think they both pose different types of threats to him. MVP is fast,elusive and controls distance well,it's hard to get close to grab him. His style is similar to Stephen Thompson and Rory couldn't do anything vs Thompson.

Koreshkov has improved his wrestling since his loss to Askren and now takes down guys like Lima and Chidi himself. Even if Rory closes distance with him it would be hard to drag him to the ground. I feel like MVP and Koreshkov are both slightly better than Rory in stand up so if they can keep it on the feet they have decent chances to win. Those match ups are intriguing

Koreshkov is the fight, has been the fight, just up to Bellator to book it.

After that Venom Page, possibly Jon Fitch, and maybe Lima again if he can get a couple of solid wins together.

 

[Meathead Jock]

MVP if he is willing to accept the fight.

Otherwise Koreshkov

 

[Prairieboy]

Koreshkov
Lima rematch
Fitch
Mousassi if they are both champs by then

 

[SaigeVanZant]

I think they should do Rory vs. MVP next.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Koreshkov
Lima rematch
Fitch
Mousassi if they are both champs by then

Fitch over MVP? No way

 

[Fluffernutter]

Askren

Askren

Not without a long term contract and even if Askren said he’d sign a long term deal, we know they won’t sign him.

Bellator/Viacom is equally as frightened of Funky as the UFC has been.

Atleast they can say they had the balls once upon a time to have Askren on the roster making all their favorites look like jabronis.
