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.
RickMartelsArrogance - He talked his way in and fought his way out.
Sean's a nice guy but clearly didn't belong in the upper echelon yet. Give him some time to develop striking and destroy guys on smaller shows like Bellator or Sharkfights and he'll be back.
Dana saw the thread with him dissing bisping, left Dana with no choice. Let that be a lesson to all you other green names out there. Surprised he didn't get cut from the ug for fighter bashing

Yet? he seems pretty old.
Yeah I think it's a bit late in the game for him to improve some pretty glaring weaknesses and get back.
Nothing wrong with beating people up on the regional scene.

I think it had a lot more to do with his performances in the cage. He struggled in his last two fights, and I think the loss to Morecraft pretty much sunk him. Lots of guys have been cut and have come back, so it's not out of the question that he could do the same.

Chin up, McCorkle! You've overcome some big obstacles and achieved goals that most only dream of. Looking forward to seeing you compete again, -wherever you end up signing. I'm sure you'll be back on the big stage sooner than later.
