Rory MacDonald tweets support for Conor McGregor
UFC welterweight Rory MacDonald is among the few fighters supporting Conor McGregor in his dispute with the UFC.
With many, like Jose Aldo, condemning McGregor's no-show of a press conference this week, MacDonald seems to be in the minority with his view that fighters need to start taking action if they want a bigger piece of the financial pie.
my opinion @TheNotoriousMMA did the right thing, us fighters could learn a thing or 2 bout knowing r worth. also we should support eachother

MacDonald has vocalized his belief that fighters should be earning more for fights that are generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the UFC. Other fighters disagree with McGregor's approach, but MacDonald is steadfast in his call for a united front.
@rory_macdonald @TheNotoriousMMA he has the bank account to speak his mind and try to do the right think. Majority of fighters don't👊🏾👊🏾
