When Rory MacDonald fought Jon Fitch to a draw at Bellator 220, then followed that up with a post-fight interview in which he questioned his own desire to “hurt people,” there were questions raised about his fighting future.
Bellator’s reigning welterweight king has decided that not only is he going to keep on fighting, but he’s going to remain on the promotion’s big June 14th card as originally planned.
It was announced on Tuesday that MacDonald’s welterweight tournament semifinal bout/title defense vs. Neiman Gracie is official for Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
