Rory MacDonald gets called out after UFC on FOX 5 victory

Following UFC on FOX 5 this past Saturday, Rory MacDonald was called out by two of his fellow welterweights. Both Josh Koscheck and Siyar Bahadurzada must have had their eyes on MacDonald when he put a beating on B.J. Penn in main card bout.

MacDonald (14-1) took the mic immediately after his win and called out the only man who holds a victory over him… Carlos Condit.

Condit would be willing to face MacDonald if offered by the UFC. Koscheck (17-6) and Bahadurzada (21-4-1) took to Twitter to also stake their claim.

@JoshKoscheck

Maybe Roy should fight me??? I Doubt the UFC would want to see him get his ass kicked.

Koscheck hasn’t fought since his split decision loss to Johny Hendricks back in May and in most people’s eyes is a step down in competition for the Canadian.

On the other side of things, Bahadurzada is coming off an impressive 42-second Knockout of the Night win at the UFC event in Sweden against Paulo Thiago back in April.

@SiyarTheGreat

I WANT RORY MACDONALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I fight Rory, I promise you, It will either be a 3 or 5 round fight! I will not finish that fight on purpose! I’ll torture him!

No word as to what the UFC has in mind for MacDonald.
