MacDonald (10-0) took a hard right hand from the 35-year-old Guymon (11-3-1) in the middle of the first round and quickly shot for a leg to get the fight to the ground in order to recover.
MacDonald rolled Guymon on the mat and had his wrist locked, pushing hard to get the arm to release as he worked the arm into barring position. Once Guymon could not longer hold on, MacDonald pulled hard and got him to immediately tap out.
It was the UFC debut for both King of the Cage veterans.
