Rory MacDonald in denial? The Canadian Controversy

 dont worry hes young...he will eventually wise up and realize gsp and firas are holding him back and switch teams

 I think they will end up fighting. Both too big to move down, neither want a piece of Anderson (although I think Silva will retire within a year)

 lol, who the fuck has rory beat besides a nate diaz who should not have been at WW?

SleepBomb -  lol, who the fuck has rory beat besides a nate diaz who should not have been at WW?


 can't figure out everything on paper, watch the dudes fights, he has an impressive skillset

Rory is still growing. He was fighting at 155 a couple years ago and had to move to WW because he couldn't make 170 any more. I can see him moving to 185. Phone Post

Team mates should not be forced to fight each other. Do people expect Rory to fight GSP and get bounced from one of the best camps in MMA? That would make no sense for him long term.

1911Bob -  Actually GSP's trainer said that he might move down to lightweight. So many interesting fights for GSP there. Phone Post


 LMAO if you took him seriously...

It would be easier for him to loose muscle them to stretch his body. Phone Post

If Rory moved up to 185 then Munoz, Weidman, Sonnen, and Silva would send him home weeping to his mommy. Bisping probably would too...

 Why would he need to "stretch his body"?

There are MWs who have a shorter reach than GSP, and he is only 1-2" away fromt eh average height of the division.

I would think that  adding another 5-10 pounds would be easier than giving up 15+...

RKing85 - One of them can move up to Middleweight.
Rory has said he would move to me before fighting gsp as has firas who trains them both. Phone Post

He was pretty close to beating Condit, who is the interim champ! Phone Post

Dude he might beat bj penn! Who is over the hill and should be at lw as well Phone Post

i think rory is destined for mw

Put Rory against a well rounded wrestler like Koscheck or Hendricks, then we will see. I personally see many MW fighters defeating Rory handily at the moment. He hasn't been truly tested yet besides the Condit fight. Like LnP said, he needs a top 3 contender assuming he beats Penn. Phone Post

It seems people underestimate Rory before each of his fights. Sure he hasn't beat a top ten welterweight. But look at how he dominated in each of his 4 UFC wins. Diaz, and Pyle are no joke. Not too mention he took two rounds off Condit before fading in the third. The UFC should give him a mid tier wrestler after the Penn fight win or lose to see where he stands.

 my issue is that people are talking about him getting the WW title and he has not beat any WW contender. nate diaz is top 5 in lw, but ww was just worthless for him.

people say how great rory's wrestling is, yet he has not fought one of the good wrestlers at ww. i just want to see eric silva smack him around. yeah, i guess i just dislike rory.  oh well.

I dunno about that, I think he owes every Victory since his condit fight to tristar fine tuning his game Phone Post

Fortunately, most Canadian's value friendship and respect over "The Amerikkan Way".

Then I need to make some Canadian friends. Phone Post

GSP will come back from his long layoff lookin like Roy Nelson and fight at heavyweight. Phone Post

Enforcers in the NHL (majority being Canadian) pound the snot out of eachother and go for beers after the game. Different but the same. Phone Post
