Ahead of his UFC Fight Night 89 main event bout with Stephen Thompson, top contender Rory MacDonald reflected on his last fight with Robbie Lawler and how it has changed his mindset and training heading into this fight:
I feel different – I feel better, MacDonald said. I feel (the fight against Lawler) made me more animalistic – made me more hungry to be a fighter, to train like one, to be a beast.
I’ve been hungry ever since the fight. I was in sparring a couple of months after, and I was feeling real hungry and motivated. If it wasn’t for a broken nose I’d have been back early. I was ready to go.
