Rory MacDonald may not be a lock for a title shot after all.
UFC President Dana White is mulling over the possibility of an immediate rematch between Robbie Lawler and Johny Hendricks following a controversial decision at UFC 181 in another epic slugfest.
“I don’t know. The trilogy wouldn’t be a bad idea,” White said on Fox Sports 1 (via Shaun Al-Shatti of MMAFighting.com). “We’ll see what happens.”
MacDonald was expected to be next in line for a shot at UFC gold after dismantling Tarec Saffiedine in October. After the fight, White not only confirmed MacDonald was next in line, but he also told The Canadian Press that the title fight would take place in Canada.
Lawler and Hendricks fought to another nail-biting decision Saturday night in a bout that did little to clear up the welterweight title picture. The fact that MacDonald is a deserving contender puts White in the precarious spot of either going back on his word or honoring his original statement.
