Having turned pro at 16 years of age #6 ranked UFC Bantamweight Michael McDonald has been impressive ever since his debut tallying together a record of 17-3. Now at only 25m McDonald is one of the top prospects in the Bantamweight division fight now since coming back from his 3-year layoff due to suffering from an injury.
Now one fight back since injury and only weeks away from his second Michael is set to take on another top prospect in John Lineker in the Main Event of UFC Fight Night 91 who is looking to take the Bantamweight division by storm. Lineker is a quite tough and tricky opponent but isn’t prompting Michael to change anything in his preparations from the usual. “The same way I’d prepare for anyone really, I’ve tried a couple of times to change what I do depending on who my opponent is and you know what their strengths are but it never worked out that well. When I fought Barao and Faber they were super strong with their in what they’re good at and I thought I tried to change a little bit of my fighting style to accommodate them and I felt like it never really worked. Everytime that I have felt most dominant. So I’m not really not gonna change anything at all. I’m gonna go back and fix all the mistakes from my last fight”
Lineker is known for his incredible power and ability to knock out his opponent, however, it wouldn’t stop “Mayday” from standing and trading with him “I’m willing to stand up and trade with anyone really”
