Even though his UFC on Fox 8 opponent, Jake Ellenberger , has been taking verbal jabs at him at every turn, MacDonald isn’t rattled. Thus far, he’s kept his cool attitude intact and intends to keep it all the way to the Octagon on Saturday night in Seattle. “My message to Rory is pretty clear: for him to start tasting some flavors of baby food and find which ones you like and stock up, because this isn’t the Tears for Fears look alike contest. All I said to him was prepare for some horizontal television time, and I meant it,” Ellenberger crowed during a recent media call. “I am an evidence-based abuser,” he continued. “I didn’t make him make the stupid decision to fight me, and I’m just going to make him look stupid when I destroy him.” For many fighters, such boisterous claims would come off as overcompensation for fears that he didn’t match up, but for Ellenberger, that’s not the case. It’s his own brand of confidence and an attempt bounce around in MacDonald’s head.

Ellenberger was asked about his Twitter attacks during a media conference call on Tuesday promoting the July 27 UFC on Fox 8 event. “I haven’t said anything that wasn’t true and my message to Rory is pretty clear: start tasting some flavors of baby food and find one you like and stock up because this isn’t a Tears for Fears lookalike contest,” he said.  “All I said is for him to prepare for some horizontal television time, and I meant it.” Confident, Ellenberger is excited for the match-up and doesn’t think the 23-year-old MacDonald has ever faced anyone like him. “I’m going out there to perform and to win.  Rory doesn’t have a choice where this fight goes.  This fight goes where I want it to go, and I’ve shown that in past fights,” said Ellenberger.  “He has shown that he has potential, but he has not faced anybody like me.  I’m stoked to get in there.” On Twitter, Ellenberger stated that it was a bad idea for MacDonald to accept a fight with him and he continued with that stance on the  conference call. “I’m an evidence-based abuser,” he said.  “I didn’t make him make the stupid decision to fight me.  I’m just going to make him look stupid when I destroy him.” Be sure to  Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook  and  Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter .
