Right after knocking out Brennan Ward with what will undoubtedly by one of the best knockouts of 2017, Paul Daley worked swiftly. He took the opportunity in his post-fight interview with Jimmy Smith to call out Rory MacDonald, who has yet to make his Bellator debut.
“If Rory MacDonald gets in the cage with me, he’s getting knocked the fuck out,” Daley said.
It did not take very long for MacDonald to respond, as you might expect. The former UFC top welterweight contender posted a video of actor Zach Galifianakis laughing moments after Daley’s challenge.
Daley (39-14-2) finished Ward with an ultraviolent sequence that started with a spinning back elbow and finished with a flying knee.
