Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Charles Sidney McCarthy (born August 6, 1980) is a retired American mixed martial artist who was featured on The Ultimate Fighter 4.

Mixed martial arts career

His official UFC record is 1–2, having lost his debut to David Loiseau by TKO due to a spinning back kick at UFC 53 while defeating Gideon Ray by an armbar on The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale, giving him his first UFC victory. McCarthy was eliminated by Pete Sell from The Ultimate Fighter 4. However, as the fight was a demonstration bout by Nevada State Athletic Commission standards, it did not count toward McCarthy's official record. McCarthy's last fight was a loss against Michael Bisping by TKO at UFC 83. McCarthy repeatedly taunted Bisping during the bout. McCarthy, however, was subsequently unable to answer the bell for the second round due to injury after a flurry of knees from Bisping at the end of round one.

McCarthy announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on April 24, 2008.^[1]

Personal life

Charles and his wife Elisa were married in September 2005, right before the filming started on The Ultimate Fighter 4.^[2] The couple have a son named Zachary.^[3]
