Unbeaten rising welterweight star Rory MacDonald and decorated veteran Carlos Condit have both verbally agreed to a UFC 115 bout, MMAFighting.com has confirmed through a source close to the fight.
The 20-year-old MacDonald made his UFC debut less than three weeks ago, defeating Mike Guymon by first-round armbar at UFC Fight Night 20. With the win, he improved to 10-0.
A matchup against Condit represents a major step up in competition.

It was only over a month ago when Dustin Hazelett got the news that his UFC 106 opponent Karo Parisyan had pulled out of their scheduled match just two days from the bout.
After going through a torn ACL, physical rehabilitation, and burning through much of his financial savings while on the mend for a year, the 23-year-old Hazelett should have been devastated. Yet for some reason, he wasn't.
"I was surprised with how little I was upset by it, and so was everyone who knows me," the UFC welterweight told FanHouse. "I trust in God's plan. I had faith. You never know why something's happening, but I felt it was all for the best, and now I believe it, because I have this fight."

DALLAS – While Rich Franklin will likely never say it, he didn't want a fight in September, let alone one against Vitor Belfort. Franklin would have preferred some time off, but the need for a headliner for UFC 103 pushed him into making the decision to participate.
Franklin may be a company man, but that loyalty – along with Belfort's considerable skills – cost Franklin, as Belfort returned to the UFC with a shocking first-round TKO over the ex-UFC middleweight champion in front of 17,428 at the American Airlines Center.
