McCrory will take on Nate Marquardt at UFC Fight Night 96 on Oct. 1 in Portland.
ANALYSIS
McCrory is 1-1 since returning to the UFC after a brief stretch with Bellator, most recently suffering a first-round KO loss to Krzysztof Jotko. He'll get a chance to bounce back against a nearly washed-up veteran in Marquardt, and as a result, should enter as a favorite.

McCrory lost to Krzysztof Jotko via KO (punches) at 0:59 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Ottawa.
ANALYSIS
It was McCrory's first loss in nearly seven years, of course he was inactive for over five of them. Prior to Saturday, McCrory's last loss was a split decision setback to John Howard at UFC 101 on August 8, 2009. There is little to say about this fight from an analysis standpoint. McCrory was starched with a straight left-hand from Jotko that immediately put his lights out. Referee Yves Lavigne couldn't get in there quick enough to put a halt to the action. It was certainly a disappointing effort from McCrory, but he will be back in the near future.

McCrory defeated Josh Samman via submission (triangle choke) at 4:10 of Round 3 at UFC on FOX 17 on Saturday in Orlando.
ANALYSIS
McCrory's return to the UFC was a ground clinic. He controlled the pace in what was a constant ground battle. He outworked Samman on the mat and the finish came when he slapped on a beautiful triangle late in Round 3. McCrory returned to the UFC first the first time since August 2009. He took some time away from MMA and was re-signed by the company after picking up back to back wins in Bellator. Most predicted Samman to win this one fairly easily, so it was a terrific effort from the returnee.
