Rory MacDonald has a new opponent for his PFL debut.
Following the news that MacDonald’s originally scheduled opponent David Michaud has been forced to withdraw after being diagnosed with a congenital heart condition, MMA Fighting confirmed with league officials that MacDonald (21-6-1) will now face UFC and Bellator veteran Curtis Millender (18-6).
The change was first reported by MMA Junkie.
MacDonald recently signed with the PFL following a 3-2 run with Bellator. He won the promotion’s welterweight title and successfully defended it twice before dropping it back to Douglas Lima in their rematch in October 2019.
