The Bellator welterweight champion was attempting to become the first fighter in promotional history to hold two belts simultaneously when he challenged middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi in the main event of Bellator 206 at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. Mousasi dominated their duel before finishing MacDonald with ground-and-pound in round two.
On Sunday, MacDonald took to Twitter to express disappointment in his own performance and provide an update on his status.
Last night was a tough one for me, unfortunately I didnt mentally show up ready to take on a competitive fight and froze in the cage.
