UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Saffiedine (also known as UFC Fight Night 54) was a mixed martial arts event held at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on October 4, 2014.

The main event featured a welterweight bout between Rory MacDonald and Tarec Saffiedine.

MacDonald scored a third-round TKO on Tarec Saffiedine. This earned his first Performance of the Night bonus award.

It marked the most convincing execution in the rise of MacDonald.

He's long been seen as a solid talent, but at times as he began to approach the top of the mountain, he seemed content to ride his skill to listless decisions. Saturday night in Halifax, he did nothing of the sort, starching his opponent and then calling for a title shot at the first opportunity.

It was quite a night for the British Columbia native.

great share, this was the Rory the young fans didn't really see, unfortunately. Tarec was a beast then too, and Rory was using that wonderful elbow defense per T Wood fight, AND those palm strikes and slippery little pass. Damn I need to retro-breakdown, if I do I'll give you credit, 100%

Watching old UFC fights (3+years) is like viewing the play screen of a Sega or Super Nintendo game.

You could see Rory just lulling him towards the end, I just felt it, then BANG w left! They both look scary, so flexible and fluid. Good fight! ( ;;

Beautiful overhand to force him into the lead uppercut

Rory, unfortunately, seemed to only possess one gear. Never upped his pace. Had a languid style that didn’t always suit the circumstances. Liked him tho. Wished for more.
