Coker: Rory MacDonald wanted to schedule fight two weeks after Bellator 182

Former UFC welterweight contender Rory MacDonald bagged the Bellator 170-pound title against Douglas Lima at Bellator 182 in January with a unanimous decision verdict. It was a five-round fight that left the “Red King” with a nasty swollen leg, leading him to conclude that it was the “worst physical pain” he had to endure in a fight.

But it did not seem too bothersome for MacDonald, at least according to Scott Coker. On Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, the Bellator CEO revealed that the Tristar Gym fighter already wanted to jump right back in a couple of weeks after the Lima fight.
