Rory MacDonald lost again in PFL

He got really religious also and hasn’t been the same old Rory
 
people bring up the robbie fight and his nose issuse, hell i think the lima fight took alot out of him.

no shame in rackin up L's though every other top contender from that era is either losing or retired anyways.

We need a Rory vs Shields Fight
 
Personally, I thought he beat Fitch in Bellator, and you cant really give him shit for losing to Gegard. Nobody with eyes believes he lost to Tibau. Really he should be 6-3 since leaving the UFC.
THe Fitch fight was a gift draw, he lost that fight badly.
Also probably lost to Lima

Rory had one of the worst contracts ever. He was very good in his prime and also very young. He was making peanuts when he was involved in some great fights. Lawler and Condit come to mind. Making pennies while notching notable wins over Woodley (prime Woodley), Maia and Nate (he absolutely destroyed Nate).
GSP was in the same boat as a champ for a long time, he told everything in a recent interview, right until the second BJ Penn fight he was fighting for peanuts.
 
Cooper is pretty good. Very powerful striker with very good wrestling and top control, the wrestling also makes him tough to take down if you want to go that route against him.

I think he'd likely be ranked if he was in the UFC, potentially top 10.

Cooper is pretty good but I dont think he is top10 material.
Mamomedkerimov beats him again in the rematch, and not sure he would get the W on Saidbou Sy, who already took Cooper to a draw and has evolved a lot from there. Kunchenko with his style could give him problems too.
Another underrated WW in PFL is Zeferino imo.

What we saw this weekend is a completely washed up Rory imo, just went out there trying to hug as much as possible and gave up very soon, just trying to go the distance without taking any chances. Cooper is good but Rory looked done

I think Cooper has gotten a lot better over the last couple of years. He pretty clearly beat Aleksakhin who I rate very highly. I think he'd beat Sy pretty comfortably in a rematch if he chose to go the wrestling route.

Really interested in the Magomedkerimov rematch, we'll see what happens. Two of the best WW's outside the UFC.
 
Now that settles it. I am sure he even has a better highscore at Street Fighter. Numbers dont lie. Some of the shittiest title defenses alltime but hey its all about points :D

IP don't agree with it, I believe Anderson is the all time P4P GOAT
 
he's been fighting half his life and has been in some wars

guy should either retire or at least take some serious time off
 
Jesus took the fight out of him. It’s unfortunate because that’s the only way he’s ever made a living.
 
Dude hasnt been the same since he found "Jesus". Another MMA fighter lost to a mythical deity, it's fucking stupid... if you listen to a lot of interviews, you can tell he's just not giving a fuck about anything besides Jesus any more. Same thing happened to Fedor.
 
He's obviously not the same fighter at all. It happens =/
 
1: There are good fighters outside the UFC(where do you think the UFC's fighters come from?)
2: ROBBIE TOOK THAT DUDE'S SOOOUUUUULLLL


He just lost to a top 30 ranked Ray Cooper III. Rory got dominated on the ground for 3 rounds, couldn't get of his back. He also didn't win the striking exchange. It was a comfortable win for Ray.
Rory is now 1:2 in PFL. He was 3:2:1 in Bellator.
Rory is only 32 years of age and can't seem to find his rhythm outside the ufc, he is losing against lower ranked fighters.
 
Ronda - Edmund
Conor - Irish Edmund
Rory - Canadian Edmund
 
Jesus Christ, how many more times are you people going to post "Robbie Lawler took his soul" before it gets so fucking repetitive that it loses its meaning.
