Rory MacDonald desires to fight Jon Fitch/rematch with Carlos Condit
by Hubert Lau on August 10, 2011

UFC welterweight prospect, Rory MacDonald, desires a future bout with Jon Fitch or a rematch with Carlos Condit according to mmamania.com.

"I'll fight anyone. A lot of people don't want to fight Jon Fitch, but I'll gladly fight him or anybody. I'd really like to rematch Carlos Condit, though. I'd take that fight 100-percent. I feel like I can beat anyone, that's my confidence," MacDonald said.

MacDonald (12-1) who's just 22 years old is quickly making a name for himself within the UFC's welterweight rankings. He is fresh off of a TKO victory over Mike Pyle in the first round at UFC 133, extending his win streak to two fights and improving his UFC record to 3-1.

For his dominant performance over Pyle, some have compared the young gun to his training partner and UFC welterweight champion, George St. Pierre.

"I know I'm a young guy, I know I have to stay grounded and improve. There's still so much to learn, I'm still very young, I still have so much time to evolve," MacDonald said.

A fight with Fitch is possible, if unlikely. Fitch has stated repeatedly his desires to fight only top contenders or former champions which would help him towards a title shot. MacDonald currently fits neither of those billings.

Of the two match-ups MacDonald would have better chance of re-matching Condit after his bout with BJ Penn at UFC 137. MacDonald's sole blemish in his record was a TKO loss to Condit in the closing moments of the second round at UFC 115.

Feed him to Rory, and Rory will show us all that Fitch has been grossly over rated for years. :-) SicJits: And GSP W's by being a stand up jab machine or by laying on someone but he is considered p4p all the time:rolleyes: He quit trying to finish a fight post Serra1 If you don't try and finish an mma fight to me, i'm not a big fan of you....i dislike point fighters, BUT with the $ today....i understand the "why" they fight that way Jambi: give him Paulo Thiago first. or maybe even Kampmann, that would be a hell of a fight IMO. IwishIwasMMA: Let's look at some really solid points here. 1. BJ's gas tank BJ has a terrible gas tank, especially under pressure. Why would a fight with no rounds give BJ a better chance? It would mean he would have less time to rest, and Fitch would have a better chance to use his unreal gas tank. BJ would have a worse chance in a match that does not end against Fitch then the other way around. Fitch makes you work, or he punches you in the face. He does not gas. And, as we could see from that BJ fight, he can hit pretty damn hard when a guy can barely defend himself. 2. Why does it matter if there is no rounds or not? This is MMA, there are rounds, so who cares what they would look like in a street fight? If you want to see that, go down to your local bar. 3. Fitch is boring, but he gets the job done. He is the second best WW. He is not overrated. He is a great fighter. There is nothing else to say about that... 4. Is he a top p4p? Well since to this site it is all subjective, I can say the top ten is something like.. 1. The Undertaker 2. GSP's girlfriend 3. A nuclear war head 4. Panties 5. A hookers panties 6. Anderson Silva 7. A pirate ship 8. Lamp 9. Yesterdays news paper 10. Who cares? Because without a proper formula to actually figure out where people stand, it will never matter.
