Mark Hunt signs four-fight contract, debut against Sean McCorkle set for UFC 119

If a picture really is worth a thousand words, then this expression may sum up fan reaction to a puzzling addition to the UFC roster.
Five straight losses will not stop former Pride FC fan favorite, Mark Hunt, from making his Octagon debut against undefeated Sean McCorkle at UFC 119, which is scheduled for the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Sept. 25, according to FiveOuncesOfPain.com.
Hunt, who has tipped the scales well over 300 pounds during his heyday competing in Japan, will have to shed quite a few pounds (if he hasn't already) to make the 265-pound heavyweight division limit.
The granite-chinned New Zealander was last seen at Dream 9 in May 2009, getting submitted (armbar) by a much smaller Gegard Mousasi in the first round of the "Super Hulk" tournament. Prior to that, the former K-1 kickboxing standout was finished by the heavy-handed (and again much smaller) Melvin Manhoef in the first round of the year-end "Dynamite!!" show in 2008.
Hunt is perhaps best known for notable wins over stars such as Mirko Cro Cop and Wanderlei Silva, as well as nearly finishing Fedor Emelianenko with a submission (Americana) of all things. He went on to eventually lose to "The Last Emperor" via kimura shortly after the wily Russian escaped.
He'll certainly need to be on his toes inside the Octagon, otherwise he can expect to add more losses to his already lopsided mixed martial arts record.
McCorkle, too, will be making his promotional debut in the "Circle City." He's a local prospect who has competed primarily under the "Legends of Fighting" banner. He most recently defeated Jonathan Ivey vie second round technical knockout (strikes) back in May.
He turned pro about five years ago and only has six fights under his belt, meaning that he fights relatively infrequently ... just like his upcoming opponent.
Should be interesting.
UFC 119 will feature a rematch between former heavyweight champions, Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, in the main event of the evening. Light heavyweights Antonio Rogerio Noguiera and Ryan Bader are so to throw leather in the co-featured fight of the night.

uh... why?
Nelson over JDS
Counting down the days till Shogun vs Rogerio 2 (which now seems to have increased dramatically)
I agree.
He is never going to be a contender for the title, so he will make a great stepping stone.

THIS IS AWESOME _ CANT WAIT_Stand Ups Only Please
Mark is the most under achieving fighter in the last decade. He needs to get his ass in the gym and get some cardio behind him. Maybe a little ground too :-) He is just another Cro Cop, Gilbert, Hardonk, Barry, Kongo type . . . Will deliver some great stand up wars.
Just guessing....
But they are probably gonna be showing some Hunt fights on “Best of Pride” on Spike. They probably didn’t want the unfamiliar saying “Who is this and why isn’t this guy fighting in the UFC now?”. They will give him a good push running up to the PPV and those that never watched Pride in the glory days will think the are getting the Terminator that can walk through anything and those that did may feel a little nostalgic. Either way, hope he can put on a few more good wars.

very true..
they will definitely show the cc and wand fights on spike,,
im still liking the fact that the ufc will have him around for hopfully at least two fights..

To discredit Fedor
I know this may sound crazy but Dana is a mad scientist when it comes to stuff like this. This guy gave Fedor a go for 8 minutes. Had him in side control twice and full mount once. Two kamura attempts on him also. This is one of the guys that Fedor nuthuggers list when they talk about Fedor being able to handle Lesnar’s size. This guy is a can and will be shown that way in the UFC thus also taking away from the mystique of Fedor. I would guess that they talk about him giving Fedor a run for his money in the prefight.
How does this make sense?
Dana has “Zero interest” in Fedor because they don’t bring people who are losing to the UFC. However, they sign Mark Hunt? Confused….
Actually....
after a little research… he actually LOST to Fedor. Shouldn’t he have “negative eight” interest in signing him?
Well to be fair
Mark Hunts agents are probably not holding out for a co-promotion ;D
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
oh snap!~

are they going to new zeeland or what?
Mark Hunto is 5-6 in MMA having lost his last 5 fights and also got knocked out by Melvin Manhoef which was the first time he’s ever been KO’d by strikes to his head.
Very late i dont see the logic in it now...
Back in the day when he was considered for real because he was i could see the sense in it but now?? He doesnt have the same anything that he used to as all fighters with retardedly good chins they use and abuse of that instead of bobbin their god damn heads, so i really cant say i see the reason behind this. I guess if they want to put him against someone like Duffee or someshit then again he might just knock Duffman the fuck out so i still dont see the logic behind it…
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
YESSSSSS!!!

wtf?!?
And I wanna see Big Nog vs. Mir 2, but not as a MAIN EVENT… geez!
so ufc gets rid of jardine who loses 4 in a row and has fought nearly every top 10 fighter in the lhw division to bring in a guy who has lost 5 in a row..
yea i totally see the logic
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
it would be the best thing ever if Mark started kicking ass in the UFC, haha. But he’s too short and slow and fat.
UFC would love to put him on main cards if he streaks some wins... His Pride wins make for good highlight promos
Bullets dodge Fedor.
The problem though is that Mark Hunt doesnt care anymore.
He just shows up to collect his paycheck. That keylock to overeem – i mean damn?! you don’t see those ever ever happening. I don’t even think he even makes weight?

Thought about it but FEG is a lot more willing to throw away exuberant amounts of money
on very crap foreign fighters than the UFC is. If it was about the money then why not milk DREAM as much as possible before the industry collapses in japan.

so dana says he doesnt sign people who just lost in strikeforce, but he will sign people who have lost 5 in a row? that makes sense lets sign the guy who sucks and not the guy whos in the top 10

Brock shouldn't be on that list.

He's the number 1 HW in the world right now
Like it or not he has to be considered as a top P4P fighter, certainly more so than Fedor who is coming off a loss and is set to fight lower ranked and less talented guys in SF.

you could find at least 30 more skilled fighters than Brock in the lower weight classes.
p4p don’t mean shit.
I am with Roberto here, also one of my things about P4P fighters is that
usually they have a few p4p quality fighters on their resume. Brock is still too young in the fight game for that. Though he has fought three top 10 guys so far which is looking for good for his resume.

yea im a brock nut hugger and i think he would destroy fedor, but p4p i think fedor is a better all around fighter
so that says im not being biased though right? if i think brock would destroy fedor yet i put fedor way above brock isnt that kind of saying that i agree that brock is green and that he has a lot to learn before he is as skilled as fedor?
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
brock is the best now
therefore should be ahead of fedor.
if you do a greatest of all time list, then brock is nowwhere to be found and fedor reigns supreme number 1

theres a ton of ways to define p4p but i try to simplify it by describing it as this:
if EVERY fighter on earth weighed the EXACT same…and there was a tourny..who would win the tourney in the end…
lets pick a weight class in the middle…say 185…and every fighter’s skills were prorated to that class..
meaning:
1. gsp still had the quickest shot in the entire division..
2. anderson still had the most accurate striking in the division.
3. shogun still had the most vicious kicks in the division and probably in the top 2 or 3 in overall striking
4. fedor still had the best overall way of coming up with sick subs with sick armbars and chokes and flash kos in the division
5. bj had the best combination of boxing and jits in the division
6. machida was still the most elusive and hardest to hit and best counter puncher in the division
7. brock still had the most brute strength and the most dangerous gnp in the division
8. jose aldo is still the craziest buzzsaw outpacing just completely overwhelming his opponent in the division
9. rashad is one of the best in all of mma at controlling where a fight takes place..although can win ugly still has an incredible highlight reel of vicious kos
10 koscheck is the 2nd greatest overall athlete in mma and would give ANY of the top 10 a great fight with his wrestling ability and his evolution and growith as a fighter over the past couple years is the best along with kenflo and shad..
i think these 10 guys if they all weighed the same…and the strengths that make them such great contenders in their respective weight classes were prorated to the same class would be the best…and would put on the best fights if thrown into a tourney with each other
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
oh and yea i tried to make a vid the other night but my comp kept freezing...and my webcam is broke and im out of wax for my chest...but i'll work on that this week

oh and i meant kos was prolly the 2nd best athlete in the top 10 next to gsp, not in all of mma..
like do other events like track and shit and outrun people in the top 10 or play other sports and be better…like if you took all the guys and picked 10 sports at random that none of them have ever played before hed probably pick it up faster, him and gsp….

agree with roberto
i dont think any HW should be on the p4p list, except Fedor before he lost. too small a talent pool. winning at HW inherently is less challenging based on population distribution. and since p4p removes the fact they would likely beat everyone else because of size, Fedor is the only HW who should have ever been on the list. maybe someday there will be another HW who’s skill transcends size, but not right now. I do agree that the HW champ is the baddest man on the planet, but that includes size factors

Fitch and Sheilds should be on there
As much as I effing hate Shields, you can’t deny he should be on a p4p.
Also think about it, Brock deserves to be on that list more than Shogun; Shogun 2-1 in his last three fights or 3-2 in the last 3 years, and Chuck and Coleman are hardly tier one wins these days.
I say Shogun at 7-9 at best, he needs at least one defense before we start the “OMG SHOGUN IS THE NEW FEDOR” did we learn nothing from The Machida Era?
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
Mark Hunt Signing...
There better be more to this then just hey we decided to go out and sign this guy
After doing a bit of Research it might just be a 1-and-done thing to build up his opponent...
Name: Sean McCorkle
Record: 7 – 0 – 0 (Win – Loss – Draw)
Wins: 4 (T)KOs ( 57.14 %)
2 Submissions ( 28.57 %)
1 Decisions ( 14.29 %)
Bullets dodge Fedor.
yea i looked that up too.
and since the contract situation in mma is totally messed up they probably signed him over 4 fights instead of say 2 so they could pay him less. .
He doesn't suck
Nobody sucks that gets in there to fight! It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and say that. My only thing is Dana White’s comments about not signing Fedor, that guy is full of shit if i’ve ever seen someone full of shit. Good for Mark he’s fought a long time and deserves the chance.

I disagree...
A bum would get in the octagon if you give him 20$ so should everyone be brought into the UFC now? There are tons of good young fighters who deserve a chance before a guy who hasn’t fought in a year and a half and has lost 5 in a row.
Your logic is, if he gets in there to fight, he doesn’t suck and therefore has deserved to be in the octagon?
Bullets dodge Fedor.

To answer your question, no, I would not get in there
I have trained Muay Thai before but I would never have the time, talent or dedication to become a professional fighter.
But we are on an MMA site and it’s all about comparative opinions. And when fighters get cut after 2 or maximum 3 losses and then a 5-loss streak old timer gets signed, I think its fair to say that something is amiss.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Another guy saying we can't criticize a fighter.
If we can’t criticize then why even make an account on this website? If a fighter sucks, I can and will say he sucks if I feel like it.

That we can agree on
I do think that part is bullshit, but that’s not Hunt’s fault. He’s just taking advantage of a chance to fight in the UFC. The UFC either cuts guys for losses, or because they don’t bow down while negotiating i.e. Werdum. I think their whole structure is bullshit, but that’s not Hunt’s fault. To MMACHAMP go ahead and say he sucks, that dude would run straight thru you and anyone you decided to bring to the fight.

Why does it matter if Mark Hunt could beat any of us up? This is an MMA site and we all have opinions about MMA fighters. Mark Hunt does suck, end of story.

Beating Silva and CC
His two biggest wins were Silva and CC. He outweight Silva by something like 70 pounds and his fight with CC might as well been in K1 and both were split decisions. He has lost 5 in a row, this guy is being fed to someone plain and simple. They want to give the young guy a chance at a few wins so they can build him up and make him more marketable and feel safer about him beating Hunt than anyone else on the roster. They also get to say that their new guy beat a guy that gave Fedor a hard time for 8 minutes.
Wand was giving up 100lbs in that fight and still took him the distance
He was good in his day and even beat a prime Cro Cop in Pride but he has no business in the UFC in 2010, he hasn’t fought professionaly since Gegard submitted him easily in the freakshow tournament and has looked horrendous in his last few fights. Very silly signing anyone coming off 5 losses, this is a blatant attempt at marketing the undefeated prospect by feeding him a past his prime fighter with a decent name.

Rampage probabaly wants more time off
And I am picking Bader as well, I hope that the Nog Bros can once again prove me wrong but at this point I sadly see both of them losing at 119. That PPV is just going to depress me.
I <3 Dana White, the Ruler and Savior of the MMA World, and will serve his disciple, Synyster, faithfully to the end.
Agreed
I think Bader will be way to physical for lil NOG and Mir is gonna beat NOG again and have his head swell up and write a check his ass cant cash again. NOG should retire his head movement and hand speed has slowed down to the point that he is gonna get seriously injured.
Shows Dana Has favourites, Fedor gets caught once and is no good, but his boy toy Chuck has lost how many in a row, all brutal and Hilarious, Yet still gets to coach TUF Season and headline Cards. No secret he hates Big Country and all he has done is won, but isnt a puppet.
Strikeforce is run by a FIGHTER with Fights the Priority, not a former ‘Aerobics Instructor’ cashing in. Turn and flex and shake and bounce yeh feel the burn!!!!!!!!!!
SF is run by a fat bald guy who cut his MW champion yet signed a 47 year old former NFL player with no pro fights and is in talks with a 41 year old former pro wrestler with no pro fights
On top of that Coker granted instant rematches when his draws Dung and Fedor lost. As much as I dislike Dana (hence the Dana loving sig after a lost bet to Syn) I can’t give him too much stick and not give any to Coker. They have both made some terrible decisions and both have said some stupid things to the media, as have Fedor and Vadim. They’re all as bad as each other but at least we get more quality fights out of the UFC than any other promotion.

Hunt has awesome stand up! & can f#ck up any striker in the ufc!
Hunt never had 2 cut weight ever. Wand fought him at 205 when he weighed 290. He got KO’d by Melvin manhoef but Melvin can KO any1 with 1 shot! If u ever seen hunt in K1 or pride he can take some punishment & whoop some ass in the stand up game. He’s a fish out of water so it’s pointless 2 put him up against a wrestler. But he can be a HW Chris lytle if any1 wants 2 stand & bang.

If this young gun is takes hunt down right off the bat
Then Dana is just trying 2 smash on th pride name. Cuz u know before the fight Dana’s guna say this 1 of the toughest dudes ever has a win over Wand & cro cop ( knowing dam well they were 1 of the few that stud ’ traded with hunt) cuz every1 knows hunt has no GG. If this dudes guna stand & trade with hunt try & KO him that’s a diff story.

If those are the the main event and co-main events …. pathetic truly. My buddies have been ragging on me about how the UFC is putting on ridiculous main events and there really is no defending it. I will not be paying for this. Fuck them
so ufc takes pride rejects …. all this bullshit talking all time its nice to see as much as possible good fights.. So now he is doing a freak show and taking oldies from dream and pride.. crocop , hunt… and giving out there is no competition elsewere but in the ufc.. bunch of hypocrit talk.. but it works gets us all excited… :):)!! HOLLAND FOR WORLDCHAMPION!!!!!
There will never replace Cro Cop, Wand or Fedor, fuck the Haters, stay loyal to your favourite fighters, win, lose or draw.

The UFC is on Crack
WTF>???!!!!
The UFC must be on crack to sign Mark Hunt. He’s lost 5 of his last 6 MMA fights. I guess the UFC is in the business of hiring cans.
UFC
The UFC just keeps on signing great fighters. LOL
