It may be time to start calling him “Mr. Consistent,” because all Ray Cooper III does is win fights and bulldoze his way into PFL championship bouts.
Cooper (23-7-1) utterly had his way with former Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald (22-8-1) en route to a surprisingly one-sided decision win in Friday’s PFL playoffs main event, which took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. With his victory, Cooper punched a ticket to his third consecutive PFL season final — and ensured himself a shot to defend the title he won in season two’s PFL welterweight tourney.
