He earned his very first world title in his last outing which was a war with former two-time Bellator champion, Douglas Lima.<\/p>\n<p>In the bout, MacDonald had Lima&#8217;s number in the wrestling department as he continually hit takedowns throughout. But his title win didn&#8217;t come without some adversity as Lima landed some devastating leg kicks that caused a massive hematoma on MacDonald&#8217;s shin. An injury that the new champion told <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/03\/rory-macdonald-leg-injury-hematoma-douglas-lima-andrey-koreshkov-bellator-mma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a> he&#8217;s still recovering from.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI\u2019m still in the recovery process, actually. I do everyday life pretty normally, but there\u2019s still an injury deep inside my leg. It\u2019s a bit soft on where the hematoma was. It\u2019s not like my other leg. There\u2019s still some time needed for recovery. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It sucks during the fights going through those hard ones, to battle through it.\u00a0But it always feels good when you can break down barriers in a fight and push through it and push yourself and see how far you can go as a person. I was pretty grateful for that experience to take one more step past a barrier and show myself I can do more and more and handle more and more as a fighter. It builds confidence. I grew a lot <\/em>through<em> that fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having gone 9-4 with the UFC, MacDonald has started his Bellator career off about as good as you could with two straight wins. Despite Bellator continuing to stack their welterweight division with the likes of Lorenz Larkin and Jon Fitch, MacDonald isn&#8217;t totally sure who he&#8217;ll make his first title defense against.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t think it is [the Lima rematch]. I\u2019ve heard no interest in that from them. They\u2019re looking at trying to get a new contender in there for me. That\u2019s about as far as I know. But from what I\u2019ve heard, and the feeling I\u2019ve got, they\u2019re not interested in a Lima rematch right now. But they know me: I\u2019m willing to take on whoever is the #1 guy in their view. The top contenders in Bellator,\u00a0 there\u2019s not so many contenders. He\u2019s one win away from being the next <\/em>guy,<em> if he\u2019s not ready. Absolutely I see myself fighting Lima again within the next year or two. I know Koreshkov is up there; I haven\u2019t heard anything about Lorenz. I know he\u2019s like 1-2 [in Bellator] or something like that right now. So I don\u2019t think he\u2019s on the radar. So who knows.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whoever is next for MacDonald, MMA fans will be tuning in. He&#8217;s one of the very best welterweights in the world and remains the last man to defeat UFC champion, Tyron Woodley.<\/p>\n<p>So when he&#8217;s ready to go, who would you like to face MacDonald face? He has also considered moving up for fights at middleweight and even showed interest in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix&#8230;yeah, you read that correctly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a>\u00a0on 3\/9\/2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Bellator welterweight champion is none other than the veteran UFC Canadian phenom, the &#8216;Red King&#8217; Rory MacDonald.
