It didn’t take long for Rory MacDonald to react to Gegard Mousasi’s callout
As seen in the main event of Friday’s Bellator 200 event at the SSE Arena in London, England on the Paramount Network, Mousasi was able to defeat Rafael Carvalho to win the middleweight title when he was able to score a TKO victory in just 3:25 of the very first round.
Just moments after the fight, Mousasi called him out and this led to MacDonald responding through the power of Twitter by accepting the challenge.
It was noted in Mousasi’s promo in his post-fight interview that he wanted to fight MacDonald unless he “chickens out.”
Make no mistake about it though, there is some history between these two fighters as they have exchanged some heated words on social media in the past including the very moment that Mousasi signed with Bellator last year.
Both fighters are on top of their divisions as MacDonald is the welterweight champion and Mousasi is obviously now the new middleweight champion.
The welterweight champ has stated in the past in interviews that he would be willing to move up and compete in multiple divisions since signing with Bellator in 2016.
MacDonald, who became a big name while fighting inside of the Octagon under the UFC banner, won the Bellator welterweight title by scoring a unanimous decision win over Douglas Lima at Bellator 192 back in January.
“@mousasi_mma congratulations on you dominant victory, @ScottCoker @rich_chou i know you wanted a title defense from me before challenging at middle weight. but myself vs @mousasi_mma is the fight to make right now, so lets make this happen!?”

Former UFC, Pride, and Strikeforce fighter Gegard Mousasi won the Bellator middleweight belt after destroying Rafael Carvalho in the first round of their headlining fight at Bellator 200 from The SSE Arena in London on Friday.
Mousasi got the champion down quickly into the first round, and although Carvalho found his way to his feet, he was promptly taken down again and eventually mounted by the challenger. Mousasi poured on the ground-and-pound as the champion gave Mousasi his back, and after a few seconds, it became apparent that the fight was over.
Now the first fighter to hold titles in both Strikeforce and Bellator, Mousasi called out fellow Bellator champion Rory MacDonald in his post-fight speech. It’s an awesome fight that would certainly bring a ton of eyeballs to Bellator.

Gegard Mousasi vs. Rafael Carvalho is in the books at Bellator 200.
Although this bout was not the original main event, it turned into an exciting fight that was headliner worthy.
Bellator 200 took place on Friday, May 25, 2018, at the SSE Arena, Wembley in London, England and due to time zone differences, was taped earlier in the day but aired live on the Paramount Network tonight.
Mousasi was able to defeat Carvalho to win the middleweight title when he was able to score a TKO victory in just 3:25 of the very first round. As a result, this fight capped off a night that featured some action-packed fights that entertained those fans who decided to attend the show.
Mousasi’s contract with the UFC ran out after his controversial UFC 208 win over Chris Weidman. This is when he decided to test out the free agent market and signed with the Viacom-owned promotion.
A fun fact about his career is that Mousasi was Bellator MMA President Scott Coker’s light heavyweight champion for a while under the Strikeforce banner.
Mousasi is currently riding an impressive six fight win streak with victories of the likes of Weidman, Vitor Belfort, Uriah Hall, and Thiago Santos in the UFC as well as winning his promotional debut with Bellator by picking up a win over Alexander Shlemenko by decision at Bellator 185.
On the flip side, Carvalho’s winning streak and reign as the top guy in Bellator’s middleweight division has come to a close as a result of this loss.
He entered this fight on a fourteen fight win streak with recent wins over the likes of Melvin Manhoef twice and Alessio Sakara. He won the title from Brandon Halsey back in October of 2015.
