Gegard Mousasi warns Rory MacDonald about dangers of middleweight superfight: ‘Listen, I’m no Michael Bisping’

It appears Gegard Mousasi and Rory MacDonald are going to try to will their champion vs. champion Bellator superfight into existence.

After capturing the Bellator middleweight title on Friday with a first-round TKO of Rafael Carvalho at Bellator 200, Mousasi made it his first priority to call out MacDonald in his post-fight interview. MacDonald responded in kind by immediately tagging Bellator officials on Twitter and requesting the fight, which led to a weekend-long social media campaign that saw Mousasi and MacDonald repeatedly lobby for the matchup to be made next.
