source: mmaweekly.com

Alan Belcher was successful in his return to the Octagon and finished Jason MacDonald in the first round of their main card fight at UFC Fight Night: Shields vs. Ellengerger.

Belcher swarmed his opponent and forced MacDonald to make a verbal submission due to strikes at 3:48 of the opening frame.

Belcher and MacDonald came out aggressive and ended up in a clinch against the fence early. MacDonald pulled guard, but while there, Belcher worked to get in some hard shots and scored some points. Belcher worked around to side control and other positions, but always stayed on top, while pounding away.

looks like we have another arguement against eddie bravos pulling guard. but he'd say mcdonald needed mission control :)

"StretchPlum - Too bad McDonald is becoming a can at the top levels. 15 losses.Look at who he's fought. The man is a warrior he's fought top level competition."Agree, but his career has turned out far different than anticipated. Peaked in 2006.

Seriously?Macdonald has never played it safe. He promises to the fans that he is going out there to finish the fight, and never lets up on it. I'd like to see all the other MWs fight Franklin, Okami, Leban, Belcher, ect... They wouldn't half as long against those guys.Saying he gets punched and gives up? He's fought the top talent in MW and beaten some of them. He takes the most difficult fight that he can get.I'm a big fan of Belcher's as well, and have to say, that him or Jmac would have beaten any other MW fighter on the card.Congrats to Belcher. One of the top contenders in the division.Can't wait to see Belcher or Jmac fight again. The most entertaining fighters in MW!
