In the leadup to Saturday\u0027s Professional Fighters League semifinal against (Prince) Magomed Umalatov in Cardiff, Wales, Canadian welterweight Rory (Red King) MacDonald pointed to a priority in his training camp.
“I think I just needed to keep a more open mind going into my next fight. So I didn’t get closed in on a certain game plan,” he said. “That was the biggest thing, a lesson learned in the last fight .”
MacDonald and Umalatov were slated to meet in the main event of the PFL playoff card at Motorpoint Arena, with the winner advancing to the final with the 170-pound title and a US$1-million payday on the line.Unlike other MMA promotions, the PFL features a regular season, playoffs and championship across six divisions, each with 10 competitors.
American Juan Adams steps in for Goltsov against Brazil’s Matheus Scheffel . Adams was added as an alternate for the second half of the regular season, defeating Australian Sam Kei via second-round TKO at PFL 5 on June 24. The six-foot-three Sy won a unanimous decision over MacDonald at PFL 6, using his height and length to good advantage.
