Rory MacDonald

Rory is 11-1 in mma. I recently watched his fight against Nate Diaz..(Shields vs GSP ppv) Rory totally dominated him. He suplexed the guy 3 times, and showed great in-ring generalship for a 21 year old.

He's been lightweight champion of King of the Cage and King of the Cage Canada, before heading to the UFC.

Rory is 2-1 in his stint in the UFC.. Rory's 2nd fight (UFC) was a 3rd round loss to Carlos Condit, who now is facing BJ Penn in October. So Rory's only loss is to Condit. Condit's pretty damn good in my book. Also, Rory against Condit, earned "fight of the night".

The reason i made this blog is that Rory Macdonald is an ALL ROUND good fighter. His craft includes, wrestling, bjj, and boxing. He's got great stamina, a BIG WIN (over Diaz), and has already been a titliest in other promotions. On top of everything, he's a young gun, someone to watchout for. Rory's next fight is against Mike Pyle @ UFC 133. So when you watch the Tito vs Rashad ppv, just know that PCH warned you about this kid. He's good, really good. Rory's only had 1 fight go the distance. So yeah, dude's exciting. And as far as the "well balanced" reference, he's got 6 submission victories and 4 by Knockout, in 12 career fights.

Rory is good and all but he honestly looked like he was on roids against Diaz.. I've watched alot of his fights and never seen him once attempt to throw a guy the way he did Diaz.. plus all that bachne and sudden muscular size out of nowhere seems to be a dead giveaway...

he trains with GSP, and Joe Rogan stated he might have more potential, interesting eh?
