Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is “very happy” that his friend and teammate, Rory MacDonald, signed a contract with Bellator MMA.
MacDonald made his new home official recently during the Bellator 160 broadcast on Spike TV. He is expected to be out until 2017 after suffering a broken nose vs. Stephen Thompson in his last UFC contest.
“Oh, I am very happy for Rory,” GSP told Uproxx recently. “I think it’s a great move for him. He chose the best option for himself and his family. I wish him the best.
“We’re going to train together still. I’m very happy for him. He found a new home to make more money and, if the conditions of work are better, I’m happy. I’m all for that.”
MacDonald joined a growing list of fighters to seek out free agency instead of resigning with the UFC.
As for St-Pierre, he remains interested in an Octagon return in the near future.
