LAS VEGAS – If it weren’t for the incomparable story of “The Ultimate
Fighter 11” winner Court McGee, fellow middleweight Kris McCray might
have found himself as the sentimental favorite heading into Saturday
night’s live finale card in Las Vegas.
The first-ever winner of a “TUF” wild-card bout, McCray fought a record
five times in six weeks of filming for the Spike TV series.
But despite an impressive five first-round finishes in his undefeated
official mixed martial arts career, McCray simply met his match in
McGee. Nevertheless, McCray remained positive following the result and
promised to return to the big stage.
