Eric Nolan seeks his first UFC victory against Court McGhee at
\nUFC 332<\/h2>\n

Nolan believes he has disappointed his fellow Marines by losing
\nboth of his UFC fights so far and wants to earn his first Octagon
\nvictory for them on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started MMA, I always said I wanted to represent the United
\nStates Marine Corps at the highest level of the sport,\u201d Nolan told
\nMMA Fighting. \u201cAnd it took me eight years to get here. And I
\nfinally have the opportunity to do that. And I\u2019ve been
\ndisappointing them. And I know my brothers and sisters out there
\nare rooting for me. So, now it\u2019s just time to turn it up and show
\nthe world why I\u2019m in the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nolan enlisted in the Marine Corps straight out of high school in
\n2015 and served until 2019. He also revealed that his DMs are
\nflooded with messages from Marines every time he fights and that he
\ntries to reply to every one to keep them motivated.<\/p>\n

\nEric
\nNolan<\/a> reveals his fellow Marines flood his DMs after his
\nfights:<\/p>\n

“Every single time I’ve fought, I always answered every single
\nMarine. \u2026 I try to get back to all of them because I know what they
\ngo through every single day.”<\/p>\n
