MacDonald + Askren bitter on Twitter, Bellator interested
Rory MacDonald: “Anyhow I’m about the future, not gonna dwell on you backpedalling when it came down to it, do your part and sign up like a professional.”
It is not unusual in the UFC for fighters to bicker bitterly on Twitter and get a fight with each other. Now Bellator MMA appears to be dipping a toe in social network matchmaking.
Former ONE FC welterweight Ben Askren has retired and is looking for a fight. Askren is on record as saying he would return for division G.O.A.T. Georges St-Pierre or the top fighter in the world. Bellator MMA welterweight champion Rory MacDonald is on the shortlist, and calmly explained that he was game when it came up.

Ben Askren’s career remains one of the great unknowns in the sport’s history. This would answer definitively how good he really is. Do it Askren! Do it Scott Coker!!
