Rory MacDonald made it no secret that he was going to be testing free agency after his fight with Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 89.
His fight with 'Wonderboy', which marked MacDonald's second consecutive loss, was the last fight on his UFC contract and the Canadian announced in March that he wanted 'to make the most money' he could.
According to Chamatkar Sandhu of MMA Junkie, MacDonald has backed up his claims and begun discussing options with Bellator.
Bellator President Scott Coker told me they have begun a line of communication with Rory MacDonald in the hopes of signing the free agent.
