Rory MacDonald will next fight for the UFC welterweight title, and should he succeed, already knows who he would like to defend his title against:
MacDonald (18-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who challenges welterweight champion Robbie Lawler (25-10 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in UFC 189’s pay-per-view co-headliner next month in Las Vegas, believes Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) should be next in line for the belt regardless of who leaves with it on July 11.
Former champ Johny Hendricks (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) also has a claim at the gold. However, if MacDonald were granted decision-making power, he said Condit, the more dangerous fighter in his eyes, would get the next title shot.
I’d like it if Carlos got (the title shot) because I think Carlos is one of the best in the division and the most dangerous fighter with a five-round fight, MacDonald told MMAjunkie. He’s a very dangerous fighter.
