Here our are six biggest takeaways from Bellator 206:
Rory MacDonald Should Stay At Welterweight
Heading into Bellator 206 much of the talk was if reigning welterweight champ Rory MacDonald could become the first fighter in company history to hold two titles simultaneously. We got our answer in a definitive way, for the time being anyway.
Middleweight champ Gegard Mousasi pummeled MacDonald for much for the fight using his larger frame and superior striking neutralize the Canadians attack.
The “Red King’s” moments of significant offense were few and far between. What we did find out is that MacDonald is a welterweight fighter. When standing next to Mousasi, his smaller statue was painfully evident.
MacDonald needs to put this minor set back in his rearview, and he needs to do it quick. He is set to meet Jon Fitch in the opening round of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix.
