McCorkle is 1-1 in the UFC, and he is fully aware that a bad performance on Saturday night could lead to the end of his UFC run.
That’s not to say that the organization hasn’t treated him well thus far. In fact, McMorkle was given his win bonus after his lackluster performance against Struve in December.
“They pay me more than they have to pay me. I got my win bonus against Struve, even though I didn’t win or fight very well at all. They sent that to me anyway, hopefully they didn’t care that I put that on blast.”
McCorkle was never given a specific reason as to why he was given his win bonus for a first-round loss, but he thinks it has something to do with the hype he generated prior to the fight.
“I talked to my agent about [why he received a win bonus], he said, Probably more for your hype than the way you fought.
“I expected nothing after that fight. I didn’t expect any bonus, anything. It showed up a couple of days before Christmas.”
