Mixed martial arts career
McCully trains with Team Punishment, including Tito Ortiz, Kendall Grove, and professional wrestler Samoa Joe. McCully also trained with BJ Penn in Hilo for Penn's bout with Georges St-Pierre at UFC 94. He has three previous fights inside the UFC, a unanimous decision victory over Antoni Hardonk at UFC Fight Night 9, a submission loss to Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 86, and a unanimous decision win over Eddie Sanchez at UFC: Fight For The Troops. McCully was also scheduled to fight Christian Wellisch at UFC 76, but McCully was ultimately replaced by Scott Junk. He has also fought a former UFC champion, losing to Evan Tanner by technical submission at a 1998 Pancrase event.[1]
McCully competed against Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 86.[2] He lost by submission to Gonzaga applying an Americana keylock from the mounted position in the first round.
He then fought Eddie Sanchez at UFC: Fight for the Troops and won the fight by unanimous decision. Most recently, McCully lost to Mike Russow at UFC 102 via unanimous decision.
After his defeat at the hands of Mike Russow at UFC 102, McCully was released by the organization, along with other UFC veterans, Hermes Franca, Chris Wilson, and Marcus Aurélio.[3]
Personal life
Justin has two children, and is also good friends with professional wrestler Rob Van Dam.[4] He recently (as of September 2014) had a falling out with Tito Ortiz over what McCully claims is Ortiz' owing him money and refusing to pay him back. This fallout culminated with McCully openly supporting and training with Stephan Bonnar who is Ortiz' opponent in an upcoming MMA fight.[5]
