After a two and a half-year layoff, Justin McCully is back and will be making his second trip back into the cage for Resurrection Fighting Alliance. The drive to compete and to test himself is what drew him back to fighting, after going just 2-2 in the UFC. The recently turned 36-year-old didn’t know what to expect when he got back in that cage, on December 16th, to face Justin Grizzard. What he got was a TKO win, a date to fight Derrick Lewis at RFA 2 and the confidence in knowing that he can still perform at a high level in MMA.

MMA Fans are an interesting breed.  The line between “Up and Comer” or “Emerging Star” to “Overrated” and “Exposed” is usually one bad performance.  More recently however the line between “Best Ever” and “Legend” to “Done” and “Washed up” is two fights.  If MMA fans taught history class, we’d all be wandering around thinking the [...]
