Rory MacDonald has faced some trash-talking individuals over the course of his career, including his UFC on Fox 8 opponent in Jake Ellenberger. But MacDonald takes a very removed and objective approach to the situation:
I fight strangers and people pay me to do it...If the stranger I'm fighting has something to say about me, it's meaningless.
For MacDonald, he sees no point in even thinking about the remarks other fighters say about him because it makes no impact on his performance.
