#3 Colby Covington vs Rory Macdonald

UFC 225: Dos Anjos v Covington
Coby 'Chaos' Covington's victory over Dos Anjos earned him a lot of respect from other fighters

Colby Covington has pissed off many fighters on his way to the UFC welterweight title, he often had zero respects for his opponents and those he regarded as his haters.

On the other hand Bellator welterweight champion Rory McDonald is someone who is immune to any of the ancillary gimmicks of the fight game and gives his opponents immense respects.

Rory is a well-rounded fighter with great wrestling. He is considered one of the best welterweights of our time. Colby's wrestling often gets eclipsed by his trash talk and other gimmicks. But his victory over Dos Anjos earned him a lot of respect from other fighters.

A matchup between these two fighters, who now belong to different promotions can be very helpful in learning more about these talented combatants. This is one fight, Dana White should be making in case he ever decides to co-promote an event with Bellator MMA.
