Rory MacDonald had a very odd week having fought Jon Fitch to a draw. Following victory the Red King said:
MacDonald seems at the height of his ennui still he will be making it to the finale of Bellator’s welterweight grand prix to face Neiman Gracie.
Neiman Gracie doesn’t understand Rory MacDonald’s position.
“It’s up to him (whether he wants to fight),” Gracie told MMA Junkie post-fight at Bellator 220. “I think he still wants to hurt people. I saw him trying to hurt Fitch pretty bad tonight. I think it’s bull(expletive).”
“Fitch showed how to beat him, I think, and I’m different than Fitch is,” Gracie said. “If I take someone down I’m not going to stall in someone’s guard. I will go for the finish, and I will get a good position, and I will finish the fight on the floor. That’s the difference.”
“I’m waiting for Rory now, and I’ll be ready,” Gracie said. “It’s not up to me. I hope he is (ready June 14). He’s the champion. I want to fight for the belt, so I hope he’s ready because I will be.”
