UFC on Fox 8 has been plagued by injuries over the last few days. One fight has been completely removed from the July 27 fight card and three others have received injury replacement opponents. One fight that has not changed and remains set is the co-main event between Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger.
This is a very important bout in the UFC’s welterweight division. The 14-1 MacDonald is the third-ranked fighter in the division, while Ellenberger (29-6) is ranked fourth. The winner of this fight, could very well be considered for next shot at the division’s title.
MacDonald joined the UFC in 2010. Since that time injuries have limited him to six fights in the Octagon, what follows are the ranking of those six fights with the promotion.
