UFC President Dana White recently shared his thoughts on the post-UFC fight career of current Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald.<\/p>\n

MacDonald had made headlines earlier this year, this after he questioned his desire to inflict pain on others following a draw with Jon Fitch.<\/p>\n

Despite his post-fight remarks following the Fitch fight, Rory MacDonald would return to the cage at last weekend\u2019s Bellator 222 event, retaining his title with a unanimous decision victory over Neiman Gracie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with MMA on SiriusXM<\/a>, Dana White discussed MacDonald\u2019s post-UFC<\/a> career, and explained that he believes Rory\u2019s title fight with Robbie Lawler at UFC 189 changed the Canadian forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cYea, I think that umm.. It is a different situation in that because guys say they want to retire or do whatever and then just walk away. And then there\u2019s guys that I let go of, or girls that I let go of, because I think that it is time. You know, but there are other places they can go and make money. But yea I think that Rory (MacDonald) is not the same guy he was going into the Robbie Lawler fight (at UFC 189).\u201d<\/p>\n

Dana White is of course referring to the memorable welterweight title fight between Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 in Las Vegas, which resulted in \u201cRuthless\u201d scoring a fifth round knockout victory.<\/p>\n

\"fight<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s next, Rory MacDonald will rematch Douglas Lima in the finals of the Bellator welterweight Grand Prix. That fight is expected to take place later this year.<\/p>\n

In regards to Robbie Lawler, UFC President Dana White recently stated that the promotion is looking to rebook the former champion in a rematch with Tyron Woodley.<\/p>\n
