[@RealDealSoulja]

"Turtlenecks, high capacity automatic shotguns, swords, combat knives, knees, kicks and headbutts to a downed opponent, elbows from all angles, brutality and puppies" - Rory MacDonald

[@OscarGarcia-xh7mi]

'and puppies' lmao

[@christoffer5875]

Yeah but he cant hit as hard as Phenom Lima doe

[@timothyhall4794]

RealDealSoulja Rory is a unique man.

[@HorstEwald]

This.

[@skilfultracker]

hahaha legend

[@user-lb3vq7fd2o]

Rory is a house trained serial killer.

[@bigdiccbillyh401]

H462 "high capacity drum mag shotgun" xD

[@QuiickScopeThis]

H462 yeah lol "I day dream about brutality" best believe he's an ice cold killer

[@NotoriousHCR2]

He has made me think that in the past interviews I've seen from him but this one 100% made me realize that he would for sure be a serial killer if mma didn't exist lol. Who knows he could be a serial killer anyways and we just don't know it yet 😂

[@FF-dv6ti]

LOL

[@FF-dv6ti]

looks like the zodiac killer tbh

[@XSnowStorm13X]

Rory is probably my favourite fighter but Lima is also a very cool guy, too bad he isn't very well known.

[@mannycastillo9204]

XSnowStorm13X yeah Lima is a badass. One of my favorite fighters at that weight class

[@myopinion9392]

+Manny Castillo Rory will kill him

[@jbvap]

As mainly a UFC guy I havent really caught onto douglas limas brilliance until lately, but that dude deserves more attention. Hes a legit beast. Rory's got a tough fight on his hands.

[@ChucklingAway]

Interviews like this needs to be done more, even in the ufc!

[@dariangomez400]

Fr that would be dope asf

[@Smokeout89]

Horrible shit should of asked real shit to hype up the fight

[@error6327]

I feel like most fighters are to "tough" or at least try to be to be asking those question. But I would love to see more fighters do it. Maybe an episode with GSP, DC or Max Holloway

[@dariangomez400]

SmOkEoUt_GsR yeah dope concept with better questions haha

[@treroney4720]

Pithikos bellator is taking over mma my guy. Scott Coker>Dana white

[@flaype4009]

we need more of this.. do it with more fighters

[@SugarSupreme]

Douglas Lima’s new weight cutting technique is doing an interview 🤣😂🤣

[@Mac10Demarco]

SugarSupreme LOL

[@johnypayne7309]

Haha. Truth.

[@thebulgarianbarbarian3752]

What is your dream finish? "Just brutality, I day dream about it" ... He doesn't help himself with the whole psycho meme does he ... ?

[@christoffer5875]

Feeding the circlejerk is his new hobby, back on JRE he made fun of it, now hes roleplaying it

[@lavas732]

Not really a meme it's just his shtick

[@mumble97]

How quick he responded made me rethink how tough I think I am... Which isn't saying much to begin with.

[@TroubleshootGamingMeds]

Rory is such a goddamn psycho and I love it

[@oskarlindholm8340]

We all know that when Rory said "puppies" he did not laugh for the same reason everybody else did.

[@joshlawrence4512]

that loves puppies hahaha

[@KillrCorsair]

"YEAH, his eyeballs got pushed into his head yeah!" Good thing we can't see Rory's erection.

[@ANGRYGREEKMANYO]

KillrCorsair under rated COMMENT LOL

[@lavas732]

Dalton whatt 😂😂😂

[@Ty-J_250]

Lool

[@robbiekinsey1337]

Hahahahah

[@1234adebayor]

"just brutality" Rory's a savage

[@elcucuy7825]

Ppl didn't like the turtle neck?? He looked like a damn spy. Y'all did him dirty.

[@natvan3000]

I thought he looked fresh and pretty clean tbh

[@oskarlindholm8340]

Exactly. Rory looked sharp. Lima is making remarks on Rorys turtleneck while he is wearing a oversized suit that just looks big and stupid. The point of wearing a suit is not to carry as much fabric as possible.

[@Sim0n98]

I do like what Lima said about it though "I thought he was going to sell me an iPad"

[@oskarlindholm8340]

Simon: I got to give him that.

[@JayJayK2K]

That Moment of Rory laughing and pointing better be a gif😅

[@hammy2841]

Rory for the win

[@boskoestarboy1006]

Rory looks like Tom Cruise when he laughs

[@boskoestarboy1006]

Elliott Spence have you ever watch videos against scientology ? Then all your adds on videos are pro scientology? 😂 😂 😂

[@johnsmith-ij9by]

More of these please. semi-serious question are great.

[@InfectedoOG]

DOUGLAS LIMA'S ENGLISH IS SO FKIN' GOOD. Holy shit

[@christoffer5875]

KingInfected He's lived in the US since he was 12 b

[@InfectedoOG]

I swear to god, you have foreigners in the US who have lived there for 90% of their life and still don't speak English. But thanks for telling me though, I didn't know that.

[@wrightr]

"I did this weird night job, where I took hits jobs for the highest bidder." Rory "Canadian Psycho" MacDonald

[@inflamesfan03091993]

I think Lima is melting.

[@ReasonExtremist]

Kinda crazy that Rory is probably the best welterweight in the world & he's fighting for Bellator...

[@ryanrizley2955]

ReasonExtremist lol u crazy

[@ryanrizley2955]

Brandon Dejack Lima will knock out Rory...mark my words

[@ReasonExtremist]

I never said there was anything "wrong" with it :/

[@Leg3ndKilla687]

ReasonExtremist and he JUST turned 28 unreal..And beat the current ufc ww champ Woodleys ass.

[@TheGhostofgatsby]

And the last title contender too...

[@georgecostanza9978]

I got Charlie Weidman winning via 2nd round "still my boy"

[@ncpmadhead]

The media should produce vids like this more often ! Brilliant piece,

[@jhaziv2]

4:35 that evil laughter tho...

[@Leg3ndKilla687]

The "you made me laugh so ill make sure i kill you quick and painless " laugh

[@abdulmunaf4374]

JHaz zodiac killer for sure

[@NotoriousHCR2]

At around 11:00 mins Rory realllllllly cements the fact in my mind that if mma wasn't in his life he would most certainly be a serial killer. Not a doubt left in my mind at this point lol

[@Leg3ndKilla687]

...4:29 cemented it for me. The "You made me laugh so ill make sure it's quick" laugh

[@Breadlywins]

This is seriously the best thing you guys have done. Please keep these coming. I loved it!

[@SaraH-eb1kw]

this is so great, thank you very much. I love seeing another side of them.

[@guildedcalamity9293]

You know,archer invented the tactical turtle neck

[@librarycard3748]

11:56 LOL Damn

[@FightScienceAa82]

Background music is dope. Perfect with the questions- dig it! Great job

[@SergioLeone49]

awesome format, awesome interview, this is glorious,thank you MMA Fighting for setting that up ;)

[@Joel80155]

this was really cool guys great job. hope to see more of these in the future

[@FF-dv6ti]

How awesome would it have been if he answered the most watched movie question with "American Psycho"

[@Rizzbulla]

1M Subs No Videos But he's Canadian

[@Leg3ndKilla687]

1M Subs No Videos ....he dont want it to be Tooo obvious and blow his cover. But that laugh at 4:29 speaks volumes

[@philosophyexplained]

Best Interview in a long long time, Really get to feel the characters of these 2 men.

[@Chinaonetakeout99]

Genuine questions and answers LOL. Love how they did these interviews. Need more of them!

[@kieferroche1995]

Great interview.

[@frankthatank6921]

Coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile, enjoyed it

[@kenconyers6118]

Man Rory is so VIOLENT!!! I LOVE IT though because it goes well with his image.. it's only something that he could pull off. I wonder at times if this is the real him. But you have to be a little off to be so good at this level tho. Rory is a BEAST!!!! He's going to run through the whole bellator roster

[@freedfreed2]

Do more of these 👍🏽

[@briancox7875]

Two great fghters. Two great guys. I've been fans of both for a long time. I'm really looking forward to the bout, but at the same time it will be hard to watch knowing that a fighter that I love is going to take a loss. I wish them both the best and hope that both fighters exit the ring healthy.

[@besafe7511]

More of this, please

[@junaidzaka2365]

This was brilliant. More of these please. P.S Lima seems like a really cool guy

[@5aja969]

Really cool interview

[@ransch123]

nice! do this more!

[@KmoneyMendoza]

Why does Rory Mac look and talk like Napoleon dynamite 😂😂

[@MMAGamblingTips]

Rory it's called a ".tacticalneck" in the field. My man gearing up for a rammmmpage!

[@Jekoq]

This is great

[@ronancurtis2616]

I love this because it's completely not fighting related. You get to see their personality

[@ghomeishy]

Rory daydreams about brutality to finish a fight!! I got goosebumps at min 12.... Straight up serial killer vibe

[@mikebong3577]

When i think of a samurai and what honor plus truth is i think of combating. To say im scared to ever have to face anyone in life would be a great shame, Afro Samurai Script Quot "when facing a mountain become the ocean,when facing the ocean become a mountain". I love both these fighters.

[@mr-boss1644]

11:40-12:10... Gave me chills, wasnt expecting Rory to be such a cold blooded beast.

[@no-st9kr]

Rory is like Michael Cera with world class MMA skills

[@ssanta8058]

“I would like to chokeslam someone...” lol Rory

[@hathmurl8664]

i like how different they answered

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Love this music. Where do I find it?

[@Glurp-vu5xi]

Great video, but I think the music was a tad too loud at times

[@SeamusGameus]

this is awesome they should do more of these! Do Bisping V GSP and see if you can get him to say he is not impressed

[@SlagleEsquire]

awesome

[@davereloader8837]

I feel like just being in the same room as Rory might make me actually absorb a little badassness. Lima seems like a fun and positive dude. This is going to be a must watch.

[@artdeluxe5625]

That's style !! Turtle neck 👏🏽🔥🔥

[@hkrobinson09]

Rory I salute you easy one of the greatest fighters in the would sad to see you leave the ufc but for shaw your be the champ at ballads ores.

[@user-on2ys9jr6t]

11:53 Rorys answer, amazing

[@darrellmorris9964]

This is gonna be a good fight.

[@AmrtAayaan]

So Rory ain't a serial killer just a normal dude .. Confirmed

[@dustinjay3743]

Never like Douglas much till this interview, he seems like a friendly dude

[@hip-hophomework4252]

when that dog-pants question hit me--I literally laughed outloud.

[@JayJayK2K]

The music in the backround is annoying. Especially in the second half. It's too loud and just head wrecking.

[@tonythenewppvkingdoublecha9318]

4:30 that laugh says it all.

[@fredocorleone6847]

Lol gotta love the guy

[@bondjames4053]

Thst was cool

[@anthscott1773]

The guy from bates motel , right!

[@KingMetaloy]

When they fight?

[@xMrHooliganx]

When Rory said D2 he automatically just became my favorite fighter haha.

[@christoffer5875]

Most interesting WW fight period

[@hasanjonz]

Haven't seen Rory since he got that new nose...all the kings horses and all the kings men did a good job w it

[@joybomb90]

Music is distracting while listening to the video. In some places their voices are lower than the music it seems which makes it hard to focus

[@rnc-wr8wv]

Asking fighters what rules should be changed #Smart #Interesting

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Hearing Rory talk about a zombie apocalypse is the coolest thing ever

[@bondjames4053]

Rory is a maniac good luck mr lima

[@BOSS320KB]

Love bellator

[@MunchVIP]

Do this with Kevin and Tony before 216.

[@HydroBud98]

Should be a really good fight. I'm going for Rory but I like Lima too. But if he fought Koreshkov again, I'd be going for Andre to win so that he could fight Rory. He could fight Daley also and get a title shot that way. Or fights both of them and wins which would be sick.

[@oberonwood2313]

I Thought it was TJ for a second there in the thumbnail

[@Vtecdragon]

Please do a mcgregor v nate one

[@DotaHelm]

Lima has got this.

[@durin23]

limas hospital gown vs rorys turtle neck heck yeh good fight.

[@ian5956]

The red king always

[@adnanejfr7365]

👊🏼💪🏼

[@itsmetravij78]

Wish Rory was still in ufc

[@konstantin2548]

Hopefully Bellator takes over or some other organization takes over. UFC pays peanuts to their fighters.

[@sm0keyMcP0t420]

So does Bellator. The only guys that get paid well in Bellator are the guys they take from the UFC. Why do you think 2 of Bellators Lightweight champions, Middleweight champion and Heavyweight champions signed with UFC? Because they pay less and Eddie Alvarez, Will Brooks, Hector Lombard, and Alexander Volkov all think less is more? Nope. UFC pays more. That's also why WSOF free agents champions like Gathje and Branch signed with the UFC over Bellator, they pay more.

[@konstantin2548]

iWasNeverGivenAName Bellator barely generates revenue, and UFC generates a lot of it. If Bellator was at least half as popular as the UFC, fighters would get payed more, plus would be able to get sponsored by other companies other than Reebok, and make a lot more money.

[@Theuf28]

Rory have this thing.... hes just, how can i put it...Scary?

[@kevlarvesty1195]

Rory is the boy 😎

[@steelers15311]

4:30 what the hell Rory your a straight up killer man lol

[@jaberalwaily4193]

THE RED KING ♦️

[@milanbabic92]

"Be like Vegeta" man you got my respect.

[@MrPoznano]

Rory is my favourite fighter, UFC was quite a let down in 2017, and letting him go didnt' help for sure.

[@Gematrinator]

Gotta love Rory, man. Don't know the other geeza but he seems sound, goodluck to both warriors

[@adamifrene7976]

3:17 why is he sweating ? im confused

[@LZ-ky6ty]

The RED KING!!!!

[@justind3583]

Get that belt Rory

[@malicemage7447]

Jan 20th? There are SOOOO many events going down before this. I'll get more hyped at the end of the year. UFC always puts a massive card on at the very end of December.

[@anthonyvigil7567]

Why is Rory laughing at 3:38 the scariest thing I have ever seen?
