These Bellator MMA staredowns prove Gegard Mousasi is too big for Rory MacDonald (Video)

Bellator MMA welterweight titleholder, Rory MacDonald, will move up in weight to challenge reigning middleweight kingpin, Gegard Mousasi, in the Sept. 29, 2018 main event inside SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., as part of Viacom’s new streaming deal on DAZN.

Judging by these staredowns, I’d say “Red King” looks every bit like a 170-pounder, which could be a disadvantage when you consider “The Dreamcatcher” held gold at 205 pounds and also scored wins over hulking heavyweights like Mark Hunt, among others.
