When describing a fighter making his first-ever cut to the welterweight
division, one would assume the use of food as a metaphor would likely
prove unwelcome.
Not so for “The Ultimate Fighter 11” finalist Kris McCray. The former middleweight says his upcoming fight with Carlos
Eduardo Rocha at this weekend’s UFC 122 event in
Germany is like heading out the company barbecue, and there’s no way his
Brazilian opponent is getting the last helping on the buffet line.
“The training is the work,” McCray told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “The fun is when you know you’re going to fight.
It’s like when you work, and at the end of the quarter your company has a
barbecue. That’s how I feel fighting is.”
