When Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald and Jon Fitch stepped into the cage at Bellator 220 this past Saturday, it’s safe to say not many fans or pundits predicted it would end in a majority draw.
But that’s exactly how their main event scrap played out inside the SAP Center in San Jose.
While the outcome wasn’t how he envisioned it, and since he wasn’t technically defeated, the scorecards allowed MacDonald to keep his belt while punching his ticket into the semi-finals, where he’ll take on Neiman Gracie at Bellator 222 in June.
