GSP On Rory MacDonald Leaving UFC, Paige VanZant Highlights, Donald Cerrone - Robbie Lawler

By Dana Becker

- If you missed Paige VanZant's incredible knockout finish at UFC on FOX 21 this past weekend you can see it again in the video above. VanZant returned to action after competing on "Dancing With The Stars," delivering a "Performance of the Night" bonus-winning move on Bec Rawlings.

VanZant scored her third finish in the UFC's strawweight division when she hit what "Kick the Can" on Rawlings in the second. The 22-year-old is now 4-1 over her UFC run, falling only to former title challenger Rose Namajunas.

- Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has no ill-will towards teammate Rory MacDonald for deciding to leave the UFC and sign with Bellator MMA. MacDonald, a 27-year-old who trains with GSP at Tristar Gym in Canada, recently signed with Bellator as a free agent.

"Oh, I am very happy for Rory," GSP told UPROXX in a recent interview. "I think it's a great move for him. He chose the best option for himself and his family. I wish him the best. We're going to train together still. I'm very happy for him. He found a new home to make more money and, if the conditions of work are better, I'm happy. I'm all for that."

MacDonald fought for the UFC welterweight title last year, falling to Robbie Lawler in an epic battle. He finished out of UFC deal with a decision loss to Stephen Thompson, suffering a broken nose that will keep him on the sidelines through the rest of the year.

- Donald Cerrone responded to a message on social media recent that involved "Cowboy" taking on Robbie Lawler later this year. And, as you might have guessed, Cerrone is down for the bout.

Cerrone recently signed a new fight contract with the UFC after his third straight win at welterweight. He knocked out Rick Story and is now 11-1 over his last 12. Lawler, meanwhile, lost the belt to Tyron Woodley in his most recent contest.
