Bellator champions Rory MacDonald and Gegard Mousasi are all in on fighting each other next in a champion-vs.-champion affair. Unfortunately, the man capable of actually booking the fight, Bellator President Scott Coker, doesn’t seem quite as enthusiastic. After claiming the middleweight title in this past weekend’s Bellator 200 headliner, Mousasi (44-6-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) called out welterweight champ MacDonald (20-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) for a “super fight.” He called the Canadian “chicken” and attempted to lure him to moving up a division for the challenge.

He made it clear he’s more than up to the task . However, his promoter doesn’t seem to agree.
