A 16-year UFC veteran has signed the final contract of his career, with one last walk to the Octagon scheduled for UFC 332.

Court McGee, 41, announced that his retirement fight will take place at UFC 332 on October 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. An opponent has yet to be announced.

“I signed my final contract,” McGee said in a video posted to Instagram. “I was going to retire before I had my neck surgery, and I had it, and I came back and renegotiated, and this will be my final fight in my four-fight contract.”

The Utah native has spent more than 16 years competing under the UFC banner after winning Season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter in 2010. His retirement bout will mark his 29th UFC appearance, bringing an end to one of the promotion’s longest careers.

“The Crusher” currently owns a 22-14 professional record and an 11-13 UFC record. He has dropped four of his last five fights, including a unanimous decision loss to Michael Chiesa in his most recent outing at UFC Atlanta in June 2025.

Despite the difficult stretch, McGee has shared the Octagon with some of the sport’s biggest names, including former champions Robert Whittaker, Sean Strickland, and Carlos Condit. “The Crusher” also returned from neck surgery after previously considering retirement.

McGee has enjoyed particular success fighting in his home state, boasting an 11-1 record in Utah. Now, he will attempt to close his career in familiar surroundings at UFC 332.

“I’m 41 years old, I’ve been competing in the UFC since 2010,” McGee said. “A little nostalgic, and it will be here in Salt Lake City. So, that’s exciting and preparations are underway for what will be my retirement fight.”
