The UFC may still be the most prominent MMA promotion today, but Bellator has been clawing its way to the top with the roster additions over the past year alone. In 2016 came one of the company’s blockbuster signings when they welcomed former UFC welterweight title contender Rory MacDonald.
Coming off of two consecutive losses, MacDonald was able to bounce back with a second-round submission victory over Paul Daley at Bellator 179 late last week in London. During his Monday appearance on The MMA Hour, “The Red King” says his former employers should take his departure from the company as a learning experience.
