Canadian fighter Rory MacDonald enjoying a new lease of life at Bellator
TORONTO — Canadian welterweight Rory MacDonald is celebrating a new baby, new employer and a new lease on life.
The 27-year-old fighter is the latest new face of the Bellator promotion, leaving the UFC after a 13-fight career that brought him to the cusp of the 170-pound championship.
“I feel a lot of motivation,” MacDonald said of Bellator. “They treat me well. They have a lot of belief in me. It’s exciting new territory. New guys to fight.”
And he believes he is finally taking charge of his career.
