MacDonald was ousted from the PFL welterweight playoffs last Friday after he was dominated and shut out on the scorecards by Ray Cooper, who advanced to the final for his third consecutive season. As for MacDonald, he’s just 32, but it’s been a long 16 years of fighting, and he’s now just 1-3 in his past four fights dating back to his run in Bellator, where he once spoke as though he was ready to retire.

You can watch their discussion in the video above, or check out the full episode below.
