An epic welterweight clash is set to go down on October 4, 2014 as Canada’s top welterweight prospect Rory MacDonald is set to collide with Tarec Saffiedine.
The bout will go down at the UFC Fight Night 54 event, expected to air on Fight Pass and FOX Sports 1, on Oct. 4, 2014 inside Halifax Metro Centre, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
MacDonald has built an 8-2 record since joining the ranks of the UFC. He is coming off a very dominant win over Tyron Woodley at UFC 174.
Saffiedine, the Strikeforce veteran, holds wins over Nate Marquardt and most recently won a decision over Hyun Gyu Lim. Saffiedine was shelved for 8 months due to an injury which forced him out of his contest with Jake Ellenberger.
Needless to say, this will be one exciting 170-pound clash that will not be missed!
