PLANTATION, Fla. – Court McGee always knew he needed to form a plan for his retirement from MMA. However, he said he didn’t know his past would play such a significant role in his future. McGee (19-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC), “The Ultimate Fighter 11” winner who meets Dhiego Lima (13-7 MMA, 2-5 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 8, has had his story well documented in his more than 12-year career as a professional fighter. He abused substances to the point he was declared clinically deceased for eight minutes, only to miraculously survive and get a second chance at life. The road has never been easy, but McGee has scratched and clawed his was into a relevant existence.
