Mad props to Rory MacDonald!

Mousasi is one of the best if not THE best Middleweight in the world.

Unbelievable courage from Rory to take this fight when so many other fighters are unwilling to risk their momentum or fight for "legacy".

This makes him an instant legend in my mind, win or lose. Moose is one of my favorites but the sheer balls on Rory make me cheer for him in this fight.

Show this guy some love and hopefully other fighters can take suit.

McGregor survived a loss and was still the biggest draw. Fighters shouldn't duck and be scared to lose.

He got nothing to lose, just that. "Courage" is not the matter here. Cool fight, I'll watch for sure.
 
Yeah I'm a big fan of both guys but mad respect to Rory for wanting the challenge. Also respect to Mousasi for taking a fight where most of the pressure is on him. It would be cool to see Rory become double champ.

He can get beat up and lose, and when somebody loses a lot of people who like to look on the wikipedia page see a loss, they think he is a can instantly.
This stupid mentality has stopped a lot of fighters from taking on big fights and big challenges because they are concerned too much with perception of the public.
I admire Rory for this but he does have something to lose. He can get seriously hurt. Don't say he has nothing to lose.
 
He'll realize who runs bellator when he wakes up with his nose plastered on the back of his head.
 
It's going to be a great fight, I'm excited for the card tonight. I'll never understand these fools who say Moose is over-rated.

Just hurt, I agree. But this is inherent to profession. I was talking about cartel, Bellator don't have many challenges for Rory, taking a bigger fighter and loses will not affect his cartel, in my opinion. Maybe changes something for sporadic viewers, not my case.

I was so pissed when he left the UFC but I can’t blame him. The drama that Rory talked about plagued MW as well as WW.

Rory had the biggest balls in Canada
 
Been on the wagon since day 1.

Doesn't help that us Canucks really only have rory and GSP. Funny how both are top 5 guys in the same weight class.

Canada hasn't really had many other top guys in MMA as a whole. I blame poutine...
 
Where is this card being aired?

How do I watch it?

I have so many questions.

I also want to know whether a win for rampage tonight will lead to a blockbuster 5th fight live on ppv!!
 
I like both guys but I want to see RoMAC win

Hopefully he doesnt lose his nose to Mooses jab

people act like Mousasi’s fan base is comprised solely of elitist hipsters, somehow...

the guy is very fucking talented, and can be super fan-friendly- not like he always goes to decision

He’s a great finisher and so well rounded


people love to hate on the guy
 
This card is gonna be fucking crazy can’t wait

This is the thing. I like to see fights and fighters who believe in their ability to overcome size differences. In many peoples minds if you lose then you are a can. So being scared to lose for the shame of losing stops a lot of great fights from happening. I wish fans would reward the courage it takes to move up against legit competitors
