Rory MacDonald was hoping to record a clear cut win at UFC Fight Night 54, and the top ranked welterweight did just that, by taking out Tarec Saffiedine in the third round.

After two competitive, opening rounds, MacDonald quickly put away Saffiedine in round three with a overhand right and a crushing left uppercut.

With the win, MacDonald improved his record to 18-2 and likely took a big step closer to securing a title shot.
