"The Barn Cat" is back. Six years after his final Octagon appearance, Tamdan McCrory announced Tuesday that he has left Bellator and re-signed with the UFC.
McCrory told UFC.com that he turned down a Bellator middleweight title shot in order to re-sign with the promotion that gave him his big break in 2007.
"I left a title shot in [my last promotion] to come to the UFC," McCrory said. "If I wanted to win that belt I could have stayed and done it, but I wanted to be back in the sport of MMA, not the MMA entertainment business.
