Rory Macdonald appreciation thread

[theincognito]

Are we forgetting that he got slaughtered by Wonder Boy Thompson

 

[DaveHilly]

I'm sad that Rory left the UFC but I respect that he made the best decision for his family. I still think he embarrasses Woodley.

 

[BjPenn2017]

This man should be in the UFC. So many good fights for him still. Although, I have a feeling well see Gegard vs Rory down the road for the Bellator middleweight belt, which would be insane.

 

[Phronimos]

How can you not like this guy?
He's the total package.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Best WW on the planet. Still beats Woodley and Maia. And I'd favor him over current Lawler and Wonderboy if he gameplans correctly.

 

[Unsurprised Diaz]

He's Ext-Rory-dinary!!

 

[CereserBr]

great fighter

 

[hot carl]

I thought the heavies were for UFC and UFC fighters.

 

[drbolony]

Rory should of focused more on his grappling when fighting Lawler, he got sucked in to Lawlers game and paid the price.

And gave us a fight of the year and one of the best fights ever. How about some appreciation? Hindsight is 20-20 and all that.

 

[Pied Piper]

Best ww in the world?? Chill ts. He subbed paul daley after losing twice in a row to lawler and wonderboy. Hes on a 1 fight win streak

 

[Tactitus]

If he was in the UFC right now there's a high probability he would be the ww champion, imo.

Sucks the UFC let Rory walk but hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later.

 

[Sosua]

Rory is a great fighter for sure but he's been finished in his two most exciting fights and they were about 5 years apart...

Guy is legit as it gets though and will be back in UFC soon enough unless Bellator decide to throw all their money at him.

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

Well rounded tough guy. Had a few shots at greatness and blew them. He may or may not make skin suits out of people in his spare time.

 

[Kingz]

Rory imo is the best WW on earth and if he wasn't such a calm personality, the UFC would actually invest in him. Sucks the shitty world we live in. He's similiar to Fedor personality wise, yet people now a days don't care about that.

People don't appreciate the silent and mysterious killer anymore.

Snarky quips and faux macho barking is all they understand.

 

[bubby]

He got his ass wrecked by wonderboy and his face rearranged by lawler, but beats fucking 2017 Daley=best welterweight!

Fucking Canadians, man.

He would have been a star if he had beaten lawler either time he fought him or didn't look like a child against Thompson.
Regardless of personality, people like winners.

 

[jpak]

Ppl keep bringing up his last two losses in the UFC, he was up on the score card vs Lawler before he went blind, then came back too soon vs Wonderboy

Haha, he is my favorite fighter. A fellow BCer. Thats just what happened, the fight was great but he could be champ right now if he played to his strengths.

 

[chinarice]

Woodley is happy Rory is in Bellator.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Not to mention he was in my single favorite UFC fight of all time when he fought Lalwer. Man I wish I could see it live for the first time again, that was an experience
