Welterviktaren Rory MacDonald utmanade senast om titeln mot Robbie Lawler när han befann sig i UFC och förlorade då via TKO i femte ronden.
Nu kommer MacDonald härnäst att ta sig an Paul Daley under Bellator 179 och hoppas att detta kommer att hjälpa honom till en chans på bältet.
Det här berättade MacDonald via ’BloodyElbow’:
Yeah, absolutely I want to test out his wrestling and his ground game in general. With that being said, I don’t feel like it is going to be a bad thing for me if the fight stays standing. I like my chances on the feet as well.
I will get my title shot right after I go out there and knock out (Paul) Daley.
With that said, I don’t see a submission being out of the picture either. I feel like I have good chances of finishing the (Daley) fight with strikes or a submission.
Bellator 179 äger rum i London i England den 19 maj.
