Throughout its staunch run of 32 seasons, The Ultimate Fighter has been the vehicle by which many European talents of the past and present have been driven to stardom. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a leopard of Irish luck ready to rain down golden shamrocks in his reentrance to Cage Warriors at Cage Warriors 180 on November 15. A professional mixed martial artist since August 2021 and representing Fight Academy Ireland, Paddy McCorry holds a 4-1 record consisting of two submissions and two knockouts. McCorry appeared on The Ultimate Fighter season 32 as a member of Team Grasso in 2024.

In his professional MMA debut, he faced Petru Plesca and knocked him in the first round. McCorry submitted Cathal Manning via rear-naked choke in round one. Then in his second appearance under the Cage Warriors banner on the preliminary card of Cage Warriors 153, he defeated Angus Hewitt via technical knockout in the first round to lock up his second knockout win as a professional. McCorry submitted Samir Kadi in round three on the main card of Cage Warriors 161 to secure his second submission win as a professional in addition to scoring his fourth win overall inside the professional ranks in the process.
