Charles Sidney McCarthy (born August 6, 1980) is a retired American mixed martial artist. A professional competitor from 2003 until 2008, he competed for the UFC, King of the Cage, and was a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter 4.
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]
