Cory McKenna Is A Student Of The Game
In Her First Fight Since 2022, Welsh Strawweight Cory McKenna Is Eager To Return To The Octagon At UFC Fight Night: Tuivasa vs Tybura
Blame Urijah Faber. Strawweight prospect Cory McKenna used to have one of the best nicknames in the business with “The Hobbit,” but as soon as it was there, it was gone after a suggestion from the UFC Hall of Famer.
“I let him pick ‘Poppins,’ which is what he was working very hard to get to stick,” laughed McKenna. “He would call me it all the time and I was like, ‘It's not going to stick.’ And then eventually, I said, ‘All right, I'll change it.’”

“Poppins” it is, and yes, it’s grown on the Welsh prospect.
