Michael McDonald Signs New Four Fight Deal with the UFC
How do you guarantee your job in the UFC? Winning fights.
How do you get new four fight deals from the UFC? How about going
undefeated through your first four fights win the promotion and knocking
out a former champion in your last trip to the Octagon?
That seems to be the trick for bantamweight contender
Michael McDonald, who has signed a new four-fight deal with the UFC.
Sources close to the fighter’s camp confirmed the deal with
MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.
At only 21-years of age, Michael McDonald is the definition of a
young phenom. Storming through his last several fights, McDonald is
poised for a big jump in the UFC’s 135lb weight class in 2012.
In his last bout, McDonald floored former WEC bantamweight champion
Miguel Torres with a vicious first round knockout, marking his fourth win in as many tries in the UFC.
Now with a new deal in place, McDonald can start looking ahead at his
next fight later this year. The young Californian was potentially in
the running for a UFC interim bantamweight title fight against
Urijah Faber at UFC 148, but a hand injury suffered in training took him out of contention.
Still, if McDonald can win his next fight it would seem a title shot
won’t be far away no matter who the champion is at that time.
