A lot of sports bars around Toronto will be packed for UFC 209 on Saturday night, and one of our beloved Blue Jays will be watching intently.
The “Bringer of Rain” is a huge fan of mixed martial arts. In fact, when the UFC was held in the city back in June of last year, he got the chance to train with his favourite fighter, Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
So, obviously, the slugger plans on watching his buddy fight Tyron Woodley for the welterweight title in Las Vegas.
“One of my friends and my favourite fighters … is fighting for the belt. And I think ‘Wonderboy’ is going to win this fight, and I think he is going to win by a knockout,” Donaldson predicts.
Donaldson regularly tweets during UFC shows and has even been known to watch them with teammates Troy Tulowitzki, Ryan Goins and Marcus Stroman.
