The UFC’s roster took a hit in both sexiness and hilarity this week when the organization handed heavyweight Sean McCorkle his walking papers after having been beaten in back-to-back outings.
“Big Sexy racked up nine straight wins before making his UFC debut in successful fashion by submitting PRIDE veteran Mark Hunt a little more than a minute into the opening round of their bout last September at UFC 119. However, McCorkle then dropped two, to Stefan Stuve and Christian Morecraft.
McCorkle, who has a strong following based on his online accessibility and humorous observations, exits the UFC with a 10-2 record overall.
McCorkle responded to MMAFighting characteristically:
I want to thank the UFC for giving me an opportunity that I had not earned, giving me very favorable match-ups, and hyping me far more than my talent warranted…Oh, I’m sorry, I thought was writing a statement for Matt Mitrione.
