Mixed Martial Arts career
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Morecraft made his UFC debut on August 7, 2010 at UFC 117 taking on on 6'11 Stefan Struve. In round one, Morecraft took Struve down and dominated him with vicious ground and pound, but was unable to gain a stoppage. In round two, Struve came out quickly and landed hard punches on Morecraft, TKO'ing him in just 22 seconds.
Morecraft fought Sean McCorkle on March 26, 2011 at UFC Fight Night 24 for his second UFC appearance. After a closely contested first round, Morecraft dominated in the second. However, Morecraft then threw an illegal low blow, causing the referee to stop the action to allow McCorkle time to recover.[1] Morecraft went on to win the fight after choking McCorkle unconscious from a standing guillotine choke.
Morecraft faced Matt Mitrione on June 26, 2011 at UFC on Versus 4[2] for his third UFC match. Mitrione outworked Morecraft throughout the entire fight before knocking him out late in the second round.[3]
Morecraft is expected to face Pat Barry on January 20, 2012 at UFC Fight Night 26.[4]
