GAN “THE GIANT” MCGEE
When Gan “The Giant” McGee last fought on American soil, he was competing in the octagon for the UFC world title against heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia at UFC 44’s “Battle of the Giants.”  The fight proved highly controversial; Sylvia won by TKO, but tested positive for the illegal steroid Stanozolol in his post-fight drug test.  The Nevada State Athletic Commission immediately stripped Sylvia of his world title and suspended him for six-months, but UFC refused to expunge the loss from McGee’s record and denied his request for a second shot at the title.  Deeply disappointed with how the controversy was handled, McGee left UFC and American MMA, fighting twice with the Japanese-based PRIDE Fighting Championships before retiring for good in 2004.  Or so he thought at the time.
“I truly believed I was completely done with MMA,” acknowledged the 31-year-old McGee from his San Luis Obispo, California training camp.  “I felt I deserved a chance to compete for the UFC championship on an even playing field – and at a minimum, if my opponent was caught cheating, the loss should be taken off my record.  After my fight with Sylvia, my head just wasn’t in the game anymore, man.  I worked so damn hard to become a world champion… and when my dream died, I lost my will to continue fighting.  But after four long years in exile, I’ve finally regained my passion and hunger.  I now realize that irrespective of UFC or what the record books say, I’m still a champion at heart – and being a champion isn’t just about wearing a title, but never surrendering to adversity.  I’m 100% healthy and 100% focused on reclaiming my lost legacy… and nothin’ is gonna stand in my way this time.  I’m stronger, wiser and fully dedicated to proving to the world that the real Giant is back – and the heavyweight division is about to be permanently reconfigured.”
