After first-time jitters, UFC 115′s Rory MacDonald ready for “bitter” Carlos Condit

Days before his octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 20, Rory MacDonald felt fine.

The hotel lobby looked like any other fight show. More organized, yes, but basically the same vibe. The weigh-ins were fine. So was the van ride to the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va., where the event was held.

It wasn’t until he actually set foot in the octagon to face longtime MMA veteran and fellow UFC newcomer Mike Guymon that the dreaded “octagon jitters” set in.
