Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight contender Rory MacDonald will celebrate his 25th birthday on July 22.
A former King of the Cage champion, MacDonald has compiled an 8-2 record since arriving in the UFC in January 2010, losing only to Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit. The Tristar Gym representative last fought at UFC 174 in June, when he dominated Tyron Woodley in a unanimous decision at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Wins over “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 5 winner Nate Diaz, former two-division UFC champion B.J. Penn, Reign MMA’s Jake Ellenberger and 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist Demian Maia anchor MacDonald’s resume.
