MONTREAL — If you happen to be watching UFC 124 on Saturday night, just before Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck tangle, you will be presented with a heavyweight fight.
When the first fighter walks out, your response might be: “Who?”
Don’t worry, Sean McCorkle understands. Just a few months ago, McCorkle was a relatively unknown MMA super-heavyweight who wasn’t exactly on MMA’s international radar when he was plucked by UFC matchmaker Joe Silva to face former PRIDE and K-1 striker Mark Hunt. McCorkle needed just 67 seconds to force Hunt to tap out.
