Rory MacDonald was supposed to have a rematch with Carlos Condit at UFC 158. He was supposed to obtain retribution for his one professional loss by evening the score with the man who put the inaugural blemish on his permanent record.
But alas, the fight never happened. While training, MacDonald suffered a neck injury and was forced to withdraw from the contest, leaving Condit to fight Johny Hendricks instead.
MacDonald’s recovery is now well underway, however, and he will be looking to return to the Octagon sometime this summer.
Here we’ll look at some potential welterweight candidates that may welcome him back to the Octagon.
