According to a report by FloCombat, former UFC title contender Rory MacDonald has signed with Bellator MMA.
MacDonald was recently removed from the official UFC rankings, sparking the possibility that he was leaving the promotion that he has called home since 2010.
The Canadian fighter lost to Stephen Thompson earlier this year, completing his UFC deal. He was also bested by Robbie Lawler last year for the UFC welterweight title in a bout many deemed “Fight of the Year.”
Bellator does have a card planned for this Friday night, so they could be holding off on making an official announcement until the Spike TV event.
