Rory MacDonald interested in Douglas Lima rematch: ‘I still have something to prove’

Rarely does a champion call for a rematch against an opponent he already beat, but that is exactly the case with Rory MacDonald and Douglas Lima.

The Bellator welterweight champion exclusively spoke with Bloody Elbow while on a Canada press run with streaming service DAZN.

“Lima is the hardest fight,” MacDonald answered when asked who in the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix he most looks forward to fighting. “I still have something to prove. I am interested in that. If I had just squashed him and rolled over him, probably not as much, but he gave a good fight.
