Amidst mixed signals, Rory MacDonald expects to fight Neiman Gracie next

SAN JOSE — Rory MacDonald, who had just retained his Bellator welterweight title going to a majority draw with Jon Fitch, seemed to question his fighting career moments after the fight ended.

After the show, MacDonald still didn’t feel like he had all the answers. But he said he was expecting to continue in the eight-man tournament, and would defend his title against Neiman Gracie on June 14 in Madison Square Garden.

In the cage, after the decision, which was very unpopular, given Fitch was fighting in his hometown and dominated the fifth round in what appeared to be a close fight, it appeared MacDonald (21-6) was questioning his future in the sport.
