Rory MacDonald is one of the most even keel fighters in the UFC , in and out of the cage. Even though his UFC on Fox 8 opponent, Jake Ellenberger , has been taking verbal jabs at him at every turn, MacDonald isn’t rattled. Thus far, he’s kept his cool attitude intact and intends to keep it all the way to the Octagon on Saturday night in Seattle. “My message to Rory is pretty clear: for him to start tasting some flavors of baby food and find which ones you like and stock up, because this isn’t the Tears for Fears look alike contest. All I said to him was prepare for some horizontal television time, and I meant it,” Ellenberger crowed during a recent media call. “I am an evidence-based abuser,” he continued. “I didn’t make him make the stupid decision to fight me, and I’m just going to make him look stupid when I destroy him.” For many fighters, such boisterous claims would come off as overcompensation for fears that he didn’t match up, but for Ellenberger, that’s not the case. It’s his own brand of confidence and an attempt bounce around in MacDonald’s head.
