It didn’t seem like a bad situation for Sean McCorkle at first. Minutes into his UFC 124 fight, McCorkle had already secured himself a kimura against favorite Stefan Struve.

But to McCorkle’s disbelief, Struve wouldn’t tap.

“I cannot believe I’m about to win two fights and be undefeated in the UFC as soon I wrapped his arm,” McCorkle told Ariel Helwani Monday on The MMA Hour. “I was really excited about it and when it didn’t happen, I didn’t believe it.”

“You can trash talk all you want,” Struve said. “It’s settled here in the Octagon.”

UFC 124 Aftermath, Part II: Seriously, Nobody was More Surprised than Mac Danzig

Mac Danzig came to the cage at UFC 124 bumping the Misfits – Ironic? Or just apropos? Hard to say – and looking like his face had aged a decade since the last time we saw him. Maybe it was just the new haircut or maybe the stresses of losing four of his last five while maintaining a sustainable and socially conscious lifestyle were finally getting to him. In any case, the most disappointing “TUF” champion this side of Kendall Grove bought his UFC career some bonus time on Saturday night, stupefying Joe Stevenson with a backpedalling left hook straight to the off switch just under two minutes into the first round. In the immediate aftermath, nobody looked more shocked that Danzig, who ran around the cage showing off the kind of genuine outpouring of emotion we’re not used to seeing from progressive yet earnestly straight-laced vegans.  

He’d pulled himself together by the time Joe Rogan tracked him down, claiming the knockout came via good old-fashioned videotape analysis of Stevenson’s striking attack. Danzig also credited the win to the fact that he’d “finally learned” how to throw his left hook with power. It’s always a little weird when a guy who’s been a pro-fighter for, oh, nine years says something like that. Anyway, we’re happy for the kid and, suffice it to say, there were some legitimate surprises on last night’s supporting card.
