Rory MacDonald this past week responded to a Twitter user to say it doesn’t look like he’ll be back in the Bellator cage until 2018. It sounds like former lightweight champion Michael Chandler is facing a similar predicament. So Chandler has a solution: He and MacDonald might as well throw down. Chandler (16-4 MMA, 13-4 BMMA) responded to MacDonald’s (19-4 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) original tweet by saying, “well…looks like we are in the same boat. I’ve got my dancing shoes on if you’re not busy in Nov/Dec.” MacDonald replied and said his inactivity is not necessarily because no one wants to fight him, but because of the promotion’s “scheduling strategy.” But beyond that, he “would b happy 2fight asap.” from what im told, its scheduling strategy and not the lack of my next opponent being available i would b happy 2fight asap — Rory MacDonald (@rory_macdonald) August 20, 2017 Earlier this year in London, Bellator President Scott Coker said MacDonald was a near certainty to headline the promotion’s return to Canada .
