Maybe cause the guy has gone 4-2 in the UFC, and has only lost to the #2 and #3 guys in the division, and all 4 fights he has won in the UFC were finished within 2 rounds. Plus he is a step-up in competition for Maia, who could very well become a contender in the MW division, so a test like MacDonald was needed.

Its obvious Dana must like fighters that perform on the big stage when called upon, or yeah maybe its the money…..

Come on! I love the fighters but can’t stand the UFC! There is no one for Silva or GSP in the UFC to fight that would be worth paying for. Of course I will pay anyway which is why Dana White can be such a DICK! Carlos Condit vs GSP and Cung Le vs Silva I believe both GSP and Silva would win, but Condit & Le are the only guys out there that have a shot. Lesner, Coleman is a farce! White just wants Lesner to win I would bet Lesners next 4 or 5 fights will also be jokes. The UFC has great fighters but lets not forget three of the five belts are held by Pride Vets! Which is probably why White will never let his fighters fight outside the UFC!

Hopefully maia is gonna put a clinic on macdonald. They’re really grooming him. First a nobody, then a TUFer now the guy that’s been killin a few TUFers. If he gets past him, i think they might put him up one of many high level contenders.

Thats the fight I would love to see, although I think that their BJJ would be negated because of each mans expertise. Id rather see them fight in Abu Dhabi in a BJJ match rather than an MMA bout. Almeida all the way

If they add a main event calaber fight to this card it will be a must buy. As for this fight, I love it! A great style matchup. I have to go with Maia, but if it stays on the feet McDonald has power. Close fight, great fight, gonna have to pick Maia.

Does Dana White love MacDonald or what? I swear he gets more fights thrown his way than anyone in the UFC. Personally, I’m tired of watching him fight. Its obvious he must not be making too much money.
