Court McGee saw his retirement sendoff spoiled earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 3, 2026) at UFC 332 LIVE on Paramount+/CBS from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the veteran welterweight suffered a brutal third-round knockout loss at the hands of Eric Nolan.
McGee, who turns 42 this December, came into this weekend knowing it would be his last trip to the Octagon. After going 1-4 in his last five UFC fights it seemed like the right time to step away from the fight game. McGee fights out of Utah as well so it was a perfect storm for the UFC veteran’s swan song.
Unfortunately for McGee, he wasn’t able to keep up with Nolan’s speed and power. McGee did offer some good pressure and offense inside, but there was a big difference whenever Nolan landed. This was clearly evident after Nolan nearly took McGee out with a short elbow to close out the first. Nolan would eventually find his finish in the third round when he unloaded everything he had on McGee and one final right put a stop to the fight (and McGee’s career).
