GSP Reacts To Rory MacDonald’s UFC Title Shot

Earlier this week the UFC announced Rory MacDonald as the next title challenger to welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.

The significance of the bout, at least for MacDonald, is huge. The Canadian star has a chance to recapture the welterweight world championship recently held by his mentor, and training partner, Georges St-Pierre.

GSP took to twitter when news broke with his reaction:

Yesterday was a big day for one of my friends who finally got his well-deserved title shot. Congrats Rory! Can't wait to see that fight!
