McCorkle's shot at big time quicker than he thought

 

http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/mixed-martial-arts/article_14e4cfc1-409b-506e-8981-e816d8d81371.html

 

For Sean McCorkle, of Indianapolis, it's no different. But when the longtime MMA fan-turned-fighter got the call that he had been plucked out of the vast array of regional promotions for a shot at the big time in his home city at UFC 119, no less, he wasn't doing cartwheels.

Improved Mitrione looking for another knockout at UFC 119

 

http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/mixed-martial-arts/article_be8577cf-47df-565f-917a-2208433e1052.html

 

Still a relative novice in mixed martial arts, Mitrione, who made his name in the sport as the self-professed villain of Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter," said despite knockout wins in his first two fights, he hasn't shown his real fighting self.

Countdown to UFC 119: Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic

 

http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/mixed-martial-arts/article_7f969485-30ff-5d71-aa93-4708cd5d9fa5.html

 

Filipovic, more widely known as merely "Cro Cop" from his days as a member of Croatia's anti-terrorism special forces unit, has arguably the most legendary kicks in mixed martial arts history.

The board's are a buzzing that Cro-Cop is out.

 

Already a weak card as far has big names go (not talent).  If true this surely isn't going to help sell the PPVs.  Way to short of notice to find a legit fight ready replacement.
