Despite his legendary last name, Neiman Gracie could not find an opening to tap out Rory MacDonald at Bellator 222, in New York City. With the unanimous decision win, the ‘Red King’ defended the welterweight title and advanced to the Welterweight Grand Prix Finals. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the fight.

I got Rory winning. Now that they are sweaty I don’t think Gracie can sub him. What you think?
