Rory MacDonald, a UFC Hall of Famer and former welterweight champion, made a rare appearance at UFC 315 in Montreal, sparking speculation about a potential comeback. However, the retired fighter revealed he no longer possesses the necessary drive to compete at a championship level. Reflecting on his career, he emphasized the importance of work ethic and passion in achieving success, asserting that enjoyment in training is crucial for sustained commitment. At 35, he remains youthful but has firmly decided against returning to the fight scene.
"I don't have the drive, the intensity it takes to be at a championship level anymore. Sometimes it's nice to dream...but when reality comes down to it- it's not for me anymore."
"Work ethic, passion, enjoying what you do...having fun, making it fun to experience for yourself as you prepare is super important."
