Bellator 179: Rory MacDonald is looking at becoming a two-division champion

Rory MacDonald is just two days away from making his Bellator MMA debut against Paul Daley. The former UFC title challenger jumped ship in free agency last year, ending a six-year stint inside the Octagon, and is one of the bigger UFC-to-Bellator acquisitions made to date.

In a pre-fight interview with WHOA TV, MacDonald was asked about his long-term plans, and whether or not that involved eventually returning to the UFC.
