Submission Special in Halifax (UFC Fight Night 54 Review)
The UFC travelled to Halifax for the first time ever and for both fighters in the main card it was a massive opportunity. For Rory MacDonald it was the first time that he would have the main stage in a UFC fight. He had never been in a main event despite being the #2 ranked fighter in the welterweight division. That came to an end in Halifax where he would be the highlight of the card. More than that, he was also be fighting in front of his home fans as the British Columbia Native has become one of the biggest faces of the Canadian fight world.
