Court McGee says he is at peace with the end of his fighting career. Speaking after his final bout in Salt Lake City, the veteran said he is grateful to have closed the book on his career in the city and called the outcome fulfilling.
"I feel retired, and I'm ok with being retired," McGee said, according to his comments.
McGee, known as "The Crusher," leaves the sport with a professional record of 23-15-0. The 41-year-old American fights out of Factory X and competed from an orthodox stance. He stands five-foot-eleven (180 cm) with a 75-inch (191 cm) reach.
His statistical profile reflects a durable, volume-oriented fighter. McGee landed 4.5 significant strikes per minute across his career at 36 percent accuracy, and he averaged 1.78 takedowns per 15 minutes. He also attempted 0.5 submissions per 15 minutes, a nod to the grappling skill set that helped define his run in the sport.
Why it matters
- McGee's comments close the door on a long career, with no sign of ambivalence about stepping away.
- Ending in Salt Lake City gives the finale a sense of closure for a fighter with deep ties to the sport in that city.
- His 38-fight professional résumé stands as a complete body of work, now with a settled ending.
The tone of McGee's remarks suggests a fighter who has made his peace rather than one forced out. By describing the result as fulfilling and expressing gratitude for the setting, he framed the final chapter on his own terms.
