Rory MacDonald will make his Bellator debut on Friday, when he meets Paul Daley in the main event of Bellator 179 in London.
But he’s been a part the company since signing last summer. And that means he’s been around enough to have a reasonable take on the difference between his old promotion and his new one.
And the way the Canadian welterweight standout sees it, the difference between the UFC and Bellator is as simple as the age-old battle between the corporate and the individual.
“I think Bellator gets it, they want to build a character around each and every guy on the roster,” MacDonald said on a recent media call.
