Conor McGregor

By FCF Staff

More than a few fighters have said they’re not convinced yet that Conor McGregor will become the UFC’s featherweight champ, but it looks as though Rory MacDonald isn’t one of them.

Since arriving in the UFC, McGregor has angered many of the promotion’s featherweights, by making brash statements about his abilities and insulting the division’s contenders. Up next, McGregor will face Dennis Siver on January 18th, and if he wins, he almost certainly will be booked to fight the champion Jose Aldo.

While it remains to be seen what the future holds for “Notorious”, recently the following tweet appeared on MacDonald’s Twitter feed:

i believe @TheNotoriousMMA will be a dominant champion #lion https://t.co/1CPBh5OAT5

MacDonald is coming off a third round, stoppage win over Tarec Saffiedine in October, and is currently ranked #2 in the UFC’s welterweight division.
