Rory: This was the best time of my life
Rory MacDonald: “Thank you @Ruthless_RK, @ufc, @Firas_Zahabi, this was the best time of my life, I’ll never forget this fight.”
UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler beat Rory MacDonald in the Fight of the Night, and, as UFC president Dana White put it, it may have been the Fight of the Ever.
MacDonald took a frightening amount of punishment, and the hospital afterwards, the Canadian’s coach Firas Zahabi posted a respectful image on Instagram
In the end you find admiration and respect for one another. Thank you @ruthless_rl and @romac_gorilla for the amazing fight! Thank u to all the fans for the support!! #blessed
The next day when MacDonald had time to reflect, he said it was the best time of his life.

This was tough to look at last night but the Dr did an AMAZING job fixing it. Lawler looked great tonight.
Post stitches the champ looked better, and was sportin’ a new sponsor. Fight week must end at the stroke of midnight.
Still the champ #andstill pretty. @ruthless_rl is all smiles talking to @arielhelwani about his LEGENDARY win over Rory MacDonald last night at #UFC189
