UFC welterweight prospect, Rory MacDonald has revealed despite being fully focused on taking out Mike Pyle at UFC 133 on August 6th in Philadelphia he wants his measure of revenge over Carlos Condit after losing via TKO in the dying seconds of their fight last year inside the octagon. Speaking via SportsNet.ca, MacDonald said:
“I still want my revenge against Carlos, though, because I truly believe I am a better fighter than him. I made a mistake in our fight and he capitalized. It happens to fighters on a weekly basis, and I wasn’t the first or last to find myself in that position. Credit to Carlos, as he took the opportunity and won the fight. He has since gone from strength to strength and is now probably the hottest welterweight in the world. He has looked awesome lately and has been knocking guys out left, right and centre.”
“Carlos has strung together a brilliant win streak and will next be fighting BJ Penn in October. I’m really pleased that he has been given a big fight like that and, should he beat BJ, I’ve no doubt he will get the next shot at the UFC title against Canadian Georges St-Pierre. He deserves it. Still, I believe I am one of the best fighters in the world, and I’ll go about proving that in the next couple of years. Regardless of how Carlos does against BJ, I have him in my sights and I’m hoping for a shot against him very soon. I need that rematch and I want revenge. I don’t know when it will happen, but that’s the next big milestone for me in my career.”
MacDonald got back to winning ways after a head-to-swallow defeat at the hands of former WEC welterweight champion, Carlos Condit when he defeated “Ultimate Fighter” season five winner, Nate Diaz via unanimous decision. As for Pyle, his resurgence continued when he defeated submission specialist, Ricardo Almeida via unanimous decision. Prior to that he defeated Jesse Lennox and John Hathaway to put together a three-fight winning streak.By Michael Pepper.
