Eric
\nNolan<\/a> wouldn\u2019t have sacrificed his post-fight interview for any
\nopponent other than Court
\nMcGee<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> veteran McGee (22-15) took on
\nNolan (9-5) in his retirement fight at UFC
\n332<\/a> in front of a home crowd in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
\nNolan got the better of McGee on the feet before dropping him with
\na right hand and earning a third-round stoppage. He cut his
\npost-fight Octagon interview short so McGee could have his moment
\non the mic.<\/p>\n

Eric Nolan explains why Court McGee deserved the spotlight
\nafter their UFC 332 fight<\/h2>\n

Nolan later explained that he would\u2019ve made the most of his Octagon
\ninterview with Joe Rogan if his opponent hadn\u2019t been McGee, who
\nspent more than 16 years in the UFC. Nolan didn\u2019t mind sacrificing
\nhis time on the mic to let McGee address his home crowd after his
\nfinal bout.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny other opponent, I’d take the mic and talk my sh*t, get out of
\nthere,\u201d Nolan said at the post-fight presser. \u201cBut you spend 16
\nyears in the UFC, man, you’re a badass motherf*cker. You get the
\nrespect. You take that mic on your retirement and I’ll talk
\nafter.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGee won Season 11 of \u201cThe Ultimate Fighter\u201d in 2010 to earn his
\nUFC contract. He went 11-14 in his UFC career before retiring at
\nage 41. Meanwhile, Nolan earned his first UFC win on Saturday after
\ndropping his first two Octagon appearances.<\/p>\n

\nknew passing the mic to Court McGee<\/a>
\nafter their fight was the right thing to do: “Any other opponent,
\nI’d take the mic and talk my sh*t. If you spend 16 years in the
\nUFC, you’re a badass motherf*cker. You take the mic on your
\nretirement, and I’ll talk after.” https:\/\/t.co\/jbv16QHmvY<\/p>\n
