Tamdan McCrory Speaks on his UFC Release
Posted by Admin on August 13, 2009
When fan favourite,”the Barn Cat” Tamdan McCrory was released from his UFC contract, it was stated that a tough cut on his way to 170lbs was the main factor – well, that at his 3-3 record… Speaking to ‘Cage Potato’, he revealed that it will be for the better.
“It kind of comes with the territory. That’s what happens. You’re only as good as your last fight, and all that other cliché bulls**t. You know they can drop you if you lose so that’s always on your mind,” he said.
“I’m not in a rush to get back in the UFC. This is the time to work on my skills, put the weight back on, and make some of the adjustments that take longer than just the time between fights.”
At 27 years old, McCrory believes he is still growing in to his 6’4″, 205lb frame, and that trying to cut to 170 did not suit him.
“I don’t feel like making my body do what it doesn’t want to do. It was a rough cut. …I was thinking that I might take one more fight at welterweight but when [the UFC] said, ‘Take some time and get some wins,’ that kind of made my mind up for me.…It’s not totally a bad thing for me right now.”
