(Forget it Dana. He’s coming with me to Hollywood.)

Jason MacDonald’s loss will be fellow Canadian Jesse Bongfeldt’s gain as the Kenora, Ontario native will now step in for "The Athlete" who was forced to pull out of his UFC 124 bout with Rafael Natal due to a re-injury to the leg he broke at UFC 113 in May.

The opponent change was revealed by Natal’s management group Dominance MMA who announced the news via Twitter and Facebook today.

12-1 in his last 13 outings, Bongfeldt (21-6), who is the former Rumble in the Cage and TKO champion has not lost since getting TKO’d by Jonathan Goulet in 2007. His biggest win saw him defend his TKO welterweight strap by tapping out submission specialist TJ Grant with an armbar in 2008 at TKO 32.

Bongfeldt took time off from fighting following the Grant bout in 2008 after the birth of his son and relocated back to Ontario from Calgary where he spent several years training alongside UFC veteran Jason Day at Canadian Martial Arts Centre under trainer Lee Mein.

Does Jason Macdonald Fight For UFC Canada Only?

Middleweight Jason Macdonald has signed on for UFC 124 to face Rafael Natal (yeah, we don’t know who he is either).

Middleweight Jason Macdonald has signed on for UFC 124 to face Rafael Natal (yeah, we don’t know who he is either). This is the first fight in seven months for Macdonald who was sidelined with a vicious leg-break break incurred from his UFC 113 bout against John Salter. This will be Macdonald’s 3rd UFC fight in a row taking place in Canada since he was re-contracted with the promotion. And before he was cut in 2009, he had lost to Nate Quarry in Montreal at UFC 97. We realize that Macdonald is a Canada native, but by only booking him for Canada based fights, is Dana White just using him to sell tickets to the local fan base? Are White and Joe Silva essentially saying no one in the States really cares about you Jason Macdonald? And do you? Do you care?
