UFC 332 results: Court McGee retires after third-round stoppage loss to Eric Nolan

Court McGee's UFC career came to an end at UFC 332 when Eric Nolan stopped him in the third round in front of McGee's home-state crowd. McGee, competing in the opening bout of the card, started strong with pressure boxing and wrestling that forced Nolan to work defensively through the first two rounds. However, Nolan cracked McGee late in the first round and used that momentum to build in the third, where he upped his striking volume and found his range repeatedly. Despite McGee's attempts to secure a takedown and stay competitive, Nolan's sustained offense eventually led to a decisive right hand that dropped McGee and ended the fight.

After the bout, McGee addressed the crowd and reflected on his career journey. "Thank you to everybody who came," McGee said. "Listen, none of this would be possible — 20 years I got sober, and 16 of those I've been fighting the best guys in the world. My hat's off to Eric. I left everything in this cage every time I fought. I grew up 20 miles from here. Don't let anybody tell you you can't achieve your dreams." The UFC also aired a tribute package for McGee following his exit from the octagon.

McGee departs the sport with a final record of 22-15, closing out a 16-year professional fighting career during which he competed against top-tier opposition in the UFC. While he didn't secure a storybook victory in his final bout, McGee's post-fight remarks highlighted his personal journey of recovery and perseverance that defined his time in combat sports.
