Rory MacDonald is Bellator MMA's newest high-profile signing and that has Michael Chandler feeling happy. Not only is it another big name coming into the promotion he has helped build, but also a potential opponent.
Chandler, the Bellator lightweight champion, told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that a fight with MacDonald is one that he is very interested in down the road. MacDonald fights in the welterweight division, but Chandler said he'd have no problem moving up. Chandler said he's walking around right now at 190 pounds, so fighting at 170 wouldn't be much of a problem.
