With one win, Rory MacDonald can erase all doubts that he’s still worthy of being considered the very best in the world at 170 pounds.
All he has to do is stop a hungry challenger from a legendary family who has submitted almost every man who’s stepped into the cage with him. No pressure.
A year ago, it would have raised some eyebrows if one suggested that Neiman Gracie could present a serious challenge to MacDonald, the current Bellator welterweight champion and a former UFC standout with wins over the likes of Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia, and Nate Diaz.
