MacDonald has been shot, but I take nothing away from Ray Cooper III the dude is a stud and usually all-action. This was an important fight, it was a necessary win to get a shot at a million dollars, and I have no problems with Cooper III playing it safe. 

I think PFL struck gold with him. Was an unknown dude fighting in Hawaiian regional shows, and the PFL has helped form him into something special. He's very talented, pretty consistently exciting, and he's constantly evolving his game. Still quite young, too! Limitless potential, honestly. 

He's out of his prime, but a win over Rory is still impressive. Especially the ease at which he was able to do it. Hats off to him!

I hope odsmaker are also hyped about cooper 3 because its seems evident to me that Magomedkerimov will dry hump him to is limit over 5 rounds!
