                                      RORY MACDONALD

Training: MMA sparring session followed by a technical session with my coach Firas Zahabi

When and why did you start training for fighting? I have always enjoyed fighting since I was really little, and I have always watched boxing and MMA since I was a kid. So when I discovered a MMA gym in the town I live in (Kelowna BC) I went there and never left and eventually it evolved into me becoming a pro fighter.

What ranks and titles have you held? I won the King of the Cage Canadian lightweight championship at the age of 18. At 19 I became the King of the Cage world lightweight champion. Black belt in jiu-jitsu under David Lea

Do you have any heroes? A guy I have looked up to in the sport of MMA is my friend Georges St-Pierre.

What was your job before you started fighting? Laboring jobs for the most part. I jumped from job to job a lot of the time because I hate work. Basically I only like fighting.

Favorite grappling technique: Rear naked choke
