Jason MacDonald vs. Rafael Natal in the works for UFC 124

A middleweight bout between Jason MacDonald and Rafael Natal is in the works for UFC 124.
MacDonald (24-14, 5-6 UFC) will return to the Octagon just seven months after suffering a gruesome leg injury in a loss to John Salter at UFC 113. MacDonald has already been cut from the UFC once, and might be on his last legs with the organization (no pun intended).

MacDonald last three fights:
Loss (TKO - Broken Leg) John Salter - UFC 113
Win (Unanimous Decision) Matt Horwich - LGIO 1
