Twitter reacts to Rory MacDonald's TKO of Tarec Saffiedine at UFC Fight Night 54

Rory McDonald & Keenan Cornielius gotta be long lost brothers

— Marcelino Evil (@KCBanditMMA) October 5, 2014

For those asking my pick. Obvious choice would be McDonald. Guys a beast, but never underestimate Saffedeine. He could upset this. #whoknows

Tarec Saffiedine could pull off Voldemort for Halloween pretty well.

Rory should've stuck with the troll who had his old phone calling the walkout music…. this is rat piss… St. Anger–!

This might look like gsp vs koscheck 2

Nothing's happening…nothing's happening…leg kick…..nothing's happening…

— Nate Miller (@NateMillerMMA) October 5, 2014

Rory playing it cautious early, Saffiedine landing leg kicks at the cost of eating some punches so far.

— Bleacher Report MMA (@BR_MMA) October 5, 2014

Staffed one is coming out southpaw partly to try to neutralize the jab of Rory. Harder to jab a southpaw

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) October 5, 2014

Rory's jab hits the reset button damn near every time. Deadly. That thing is a fight winner.

Rory MacDonald is known for his explosive patience.

Tarec and Rory are both really fucking good

— Fight_Ghost (@Fight_Ghost) October 5, 2014

10-10 round. Probably 10-9 Rory for cage control tho

— Marcelino Evil (@KCBanditMMA) October 5, 2014

Tentative first round. 10-9 McDonald. Nice kicks from Tarec towards the end though.

— michael (@bisping) October 5, 2014

Rory intentionally stepping on Tarec's foot when he steps forward. Slick.

— Joey G (@joeygsports) October 5, 2014

Tarec is just leg kicking… Rory is doing the Ali Shuffle… something about this fight smells, people.

— Word On The Street (@TheAntJimmyShow) October 5, 2014

Rory may have zero personality but he sure is an extremely technical fighter. Very skilled dude in the cage. #UFCHalifax

— Steven Grossi (@SteveOGrossi) October 5, 2014

Rory MacDonald is very good, but I never see anyone eager to watch him fight. Not a guy people would line up to see as a champion, either.

— Josh Sánchez (@jnsanchez) October 5, 2014

I'm reminded of Nick Diaz arguing you can't win rounds with baby leg kicks. I gave the last one to Saffiedine over MacDonald. 19-19.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) October 5, 2014

10-9 McDonald. Beautiful jab by Rory. Establishing his range now, look for him to follow it up and look to finish as the fight wears on.

— michael (@bisping) October 5, 2014

Rory MacDonald crushes Tarec Saffiedine with a left hand and BOOM fight is over! #UFCHalifax

— UFCONFOX (@UFCONFOX) October 5, 2014

Whoa! Saffiedine is ALL messed up

— Brent Brookhouse (@brentbrookhouse) October 5, 2014

Huge finish by Rory! Big things ahead for him in 2015!

— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) October 5, 2014

That is a scary dude when he wants to be wow!

— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) October 5, 2014

Boom. Rory can't wait to go home to sit… And plot.

— MiddleEasy (@MiddleEasy) October 5, 2014

Wow. Rory is fucking dangerous. Serial killer.

— Conor Heun (@ConorHeun) October 5, 2014

Saffiedine woke up with the slobber face and baby giraffe legs. Delightful to see MacDonald externalize his rage and turn it into a knockout

— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) October 5, 2014

Wow. MacDonald destroyed Saffiedine, third-round knockout. Rory vs. Hendricks/Lawler winner, please.

— Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz) October 5, 2014

Some prelim talks that the UFC might return to Montreal in March. Four months after the next 170 title fight. Rory lives in Montreal …

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) October 5, 2014

MacDonald: I was just going with the flow reacting and I found the finish. It worked out.

— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) October 5, 2014

Rory MacDonald: I think it goes without saying I'm next for that title.I want that title shot, I want the winner of that next fight.
