Rory MacDonald mötte dåvarande welterviktsmästaren Robbie Lawler under UFC 189, en match som MacDonald förlorade via TKO i femte ronden. Nu menar Rory på att allt kanske inte har gått helt rätt till inför titelmatchen, och antyder på att Lawler kan ha dopat sig.
Detta hade MacDonald att säga om det hela via ”The MMA Hour”:
I don’t really want to speak too loud about it, but it’s something that really grabbed my attention and I think a lot of people are going to be very interested to hear about this if it actually is true, I have to do my research. But it could be a potentially very big thing and it pisses me off. It pisses me right off to hear about it, to be honest. I feel very robbed.
I worked hard for that fight and I fought my heart out. I left everything in there. I left my soul and I really left everything out there. I came in honest, and I always have my entire career. I don’t play with any dirty drugs, any performance enhancers or something I don’t believe in morally. I always believe in myself that if I work hard, work on my techniques, train hard that I can get to the top and be the best.
The fact that whatever happened in there, if this is true, it pisses me right off to my core. Some test results came out four times higher than the limit for my fight with him. It could be bullshit. That’s why we have to look into it. I don’t want to start pointing fingers or anything.
Look at that team’s history. It makes me very suspicious but I can’t go out and start saying for sure without making my research that all this is true.
Rory skrev nyligen på för Bellator efter att ha förlorat två raka matcher i UFC, och sist besegrades han av Stephen Thompson via ett enhälligt domslut då de möttes under ”UFC: Fight Night 89”.
