McCorkle: ‘If I just killed that guy I’m going to hang myself’

“You could be working at Best Buy. That’s the way I think of it. Whenever I’m doing conditioning or something and it gets really tough, I just think that I could be working at Best Buy instead, wearing a little blue shirt and helping someone with their computer. Well, if you want to go do that you can. Or you can work out really hard two hours a day and then go do what you want the rest of the day.”
“I’m the only honest guy out there. Maybe I just have a skewed view of it. When you’re younger, like Struve is, you’re more idealistic. Then you get beat down by life and you realize how terrible almost everything is and you think, I might as well try and have a little bit of money because if I’m going to be miserable anyway, it’s better to be miserable and rich.”
“I fought at King of the Cage in 2007 or 2006, and I hit a guy so hard that he went out and he stopped breathing. They came in there and were pumping on his chest, and I was nauseous. I thought, if I just killed that guy I’m going to hang myself. Everybody afterwards was like, ‘Man, that was awesome.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah? Was it awesome that his family was there watching that?'”
“I didn’t want to fight anymore. I was sick to my stomach. I swore from that point that I wouldn’t fight guys who weren’t good anymore. Then I went out and fought like three more guys who sucked, so I guess I didn’t stick to my morals on that one.”
“I’m not a violent person by nature, only if you pay me a lot of money. So I guess the answer is, yes, I will kill someone for you for the right amount of money. But I will be sad for one night. At least until the next time I do it.”
