An emotional Kevin Casey took a moment after his bout at UFC 199 to thank everyone for their support in the wake of the death of his father-in-law, Muhammad Ali.
The 34-year-old middleweight fought less than 24 hours after news of the boxing legend's passing and he put on a gutsy performance against Elvis Mutapcic en route to a split draw at Saturday's event in Inglewood, Calif.
Casey was given the opportunity to share his thoughts in a post-fight interview.
"It's a lot to go through before a fight but thank you guys for the support," Casey said, according to Damon Martin of FOX Sports. "God bless my family."
