Season eleven “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Court ‘The Crusher’ McGee (14-1) won his third straight in the Octagon and eight straight fight overall on Saturday night.
McGee faced South Korean fighter Dongi Yang in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 25 in New Orleans.
Despite winning a Unanimous Decision on the judges score cards, ‘The Crusher’ was not satisfied with his work in the Octagon feeling he could have pushed the pace a bit once he had his opponent hurt.
“I feel good, not satisfied. I feel I hurt him late in the first round and I kept composed. Maybe that was a good thing. I definitely could have pushed and committed more when I hurt him. I found myself waiting to counter what he was trying to do and it set me up straight in front of his left hand. I thought I’d be able to move on him to finish my shot. He was definitely prepared and he was very tough.”
“Number one I do this to carry the message to those that struggle. Number two, the payout. I do it to better take care of my family. Number three. I love the competition, I love being in there fighting.”
The middleweight will certainly face some stiffer competition for his next fight especially backed by his eight-fight win streak. Hopefully fans will see ‘The Crusher’ back in the Octagon soon, but will have to see what sort of injuries he sustained versus the Korean.
