After the fight McFedries said he plans on making another run at the UFC. On November 3, 2012 McFedries was stabbed in the upper-shoulder area of his back while working as a bouncer at a Davenport, Iowa night club. McFedries stated in an interview with FightLockdown that if he were not doing mixed martial arts that he would like to have several children, spread his beliefs in Christianity, and possibly do rap music videos with the support of his girlfriend. McFedries is afflicted with Crohn's disease, being diagnosed with the illness around 2002, and has spoken in many interviews about his struggle with the disorder. It has not stopped him from competing in mixed martial arts, but he does believe it has a large effect on his digestive ability. He has a brother who is much younger, and two younger sisters.
