Rory MacDonald is set to make his long-awaited debut for Bellator MMA on Friday when he squares off with one of the best contenders in the company at welterweight in Paul Daley. MacDonald, coming off back-to-back losses, hasn't fought since losing to Stephen Thompson by unanimous decision last June. MacDonald (18-4) could get right into the title conversation with a win, but Daley is no pushover.

Daley (39-14-2) is coming off a vicious flying knee TKO of Brennan Ward in January.
