Rory MacDonald knows without a doubt he should be going home from PFL 5 with a win on his record.
Instead, he’ll enter the PFL playoffs coming off a highly controversial split decision loss after falling to Gleison Tibau in a three-round fight that seemed like a guaranteed victory until the judges’ scorecards were announced.
“I’m very disappointed,” MacDonald said at the PFL 5 post-fight press conference. “I believe and everyone I talked to, everyone online, scored the fight for me, even three rounds to zero. I think it was a clear robbery.
