Tim Gorman and his MMA career

The Psycho took his leave from professional fighting back in 2015. He went toe to toe against Justin Morrison at MCC 59: Howser vs O’Brien.

Gorman’s time in the UFC was rather short and uneventful. Many attribute his shortlived UFC career to bad luck. However, there was more to it than just bad luck.

Even though an injury forced him off The Ultimate Fighter, the promotion brought him back twice to compete inside the octagon.

However, he did not fare successfully in either of his fights. Losing his first fight in the UFC via unanimous decision against Mitch Gagnon in 2014.

He eventually walked into another loss against Thomas Almeida via unanimous decision, yet again. However, he walked away from this fight $50,000 richer after winning the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus.
