MacDonald ‘heartbroken’ after title shot snub
Rory MacDonald: “Things change so often in this sport, you’d be a fool if you believed everything that came out. So I’m not surprised that it happened.”
Rory MacDonald was promised a UFC welterweight title shot. Then Robbie Lawler and Johny Hendricks had a very close war in their second fight and the UFC made the decision to make a trilogy fight. MacDonald talked about receiving the news on today’s edition of the MMA Hour:
“I was a little bit heartbroken,” MacDonald admitted on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “But it’s okay. Even when I first heard the news that I was promised I was going to get the next title shot, I was skeptical. You can’t always believe what you hear. Things change so often in this sport, you’d be a fool if you believed everything that came out. So I’m not surprised that it happened. But I was pretty sad about it.”
