Posters on The Underground forum started an impromptu campaign asking White, via the message boards and Twitter, for more fights on Facebook. After scheduling two earlier in the week, the UFC boss came through and added three additional to the stream.

Pat Barry raised the bar when it comes to showing respect for an opponent at UFC 115 in June when he stopped in the middle of the fight to hug Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.

As an MMA fan-turned-fighter, Sean McCorkle makes his UFC debut Saturday at UFC 119 in Indianapolis. And the heavyweight admitted he’ll have the same fan-like butterflies for his fight against Pride and K-1 veteran Mark Hunt that Barry said he experienced against Cro Cop.

“I honestly don’t think that I can (contain my excitement),” McCorkle said. “As ridiculous as it sounds, I’m excited just to meet him. I’ve always been a fan, even before I ever considered fighting, and I hope that he wins every fight in his career from here on out. Just not his fight against me.”
