Court McGee

The Crusher

USA

Falls to 1-4 in past five fights
WelterweightUFC
June 14, 2025
McGee lost to Michael Chiesa via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
McGee was able to extend his run with the company following a first-round submission win over Tim Means in October, but he struggled mightily here in a follow-up bout against Chiesa. Facing a 37-year-old opponent with no stand-up skills to speak off, Court found himself on the short end of a 72-39 count in terms of total strikes landed. He also failed on all six of his takedown attempts. McGee will be 41 years old in December and is 1-4 in his past five fights dating back to June 2022. A member of the UFC roster for nearly 15 years, perhaps the company will grant Court a retirement bout before sending him on his way.

McGee will face Michael Chiesa in a welterweight fight at UFC Atlanta on June 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
McGee steps into this fight with high expectations after defeating Tim Means via submission in Round 1 during UFC 307 in Salt Lake City. The Crusher is now set to face Michael Chiesa, a worthy opponent with 20 victories to his name, who is also coming off a triumph of his own. Court will look to get his 23rd UFC victory in what should be an evenly-matched bout.
Vintage effort in native Utah
WelterweightUFC
October 5, 2024
McGee defeated Tim Means via submission (neck crank) at 3:19 of Round 1 at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
It was a vintage performance from McGee in front of family and friends in his native Utah. He appeared shockingly competent on the feet early on before forcing Means to the mat and immediately tapping him out. Entering as a +180 underdog and the loser of three in a row, Court almost certainly would have been handed his walking papers if he came up short here. As is, the soon-to-be 40-year-old should be guaranteed another fight with the company. The UFC brass just needs to be careful regarding who they match him up against moving forward.

McGee is scheduled to compete against fellow welterweight Tim Means at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City on Oct. 5, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
McGee is on the ropes again, just one loss away from what would be his fourth consecutive loss and worst losing streak in the UFC. He faces off against Means, trying to bounce back from his own output struggles from earlier in 2024.
Suffers third straight defeat
WelterweightUFC
April 6, 2024
McGee lost to Alex Morono via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
McGee will fight for your dollar every single time he steps in the octagon and tonight was no exception. Now 39 years of age and a member of the UFC roster for nearly 14 years, Court simply doesn't have the physical skills at this stage of his career to consistently win at this level. He dropped Round 1 to Morono and managed to make a nice comeback to even the fight in Round 2, but there simply wasn't enough offense generated by Court in Round 3 to take a decision. With this season of Dana White's Contender Series coming up, several veteran fighters are likely to be handed their walking papers. McGee -- a loser of three in a row and six of his last eight -- seems like a prime candidate.
Fellow veteran up next

February 29, 2024
McGee is scheduled to compete against Alex Morono in a welterweight fight at the UFC's April 6 event, per Aaron Bronsteter of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
McGee, one of the UFC's longest-tenured fighters, will take on a fellow veteran in Morono, who is entering his ninth year in the UFC. The former was unable to get back into winning ways during 2023, a year in which he lost to fellow TUF alum Matt Brown via a knockout punch.
