Please stop changing the finish against Mark Hunt to "kimura." That was not the technique utilized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raide Ortega (talk • contribs) 22:16, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sherdog says its a Straight Armbar not a Kimura. Mothman 777 (talk) 18:46, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked Sherdog.com and they say its a (Straight Armbar) who has it listed as a (Kimura) ? Red Rose Ritual (talk) 00:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His Weight[edit]

Why is His weight listed at 300 when he fights at 265 ? Mothman 777 (talk) 18:50, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On UFC^[1] they have his weight as 265 pounds (120 kg) and height as 200 centimetres or 6'7". While on Sherdog.com^[2] they have his weight as 263 pounds (119 kg) and height at 201 centimetres or 6'7". Adamdaley (talk) 10:50, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because the weight parameter isn't for his fighting weight, that's what the division parameter is for! There is zero point in a basic duplicate. It's only different for heavyweights, so there's no point in changing style for McCorkle. He weighs 263 for about an hour and then immediately puts weight back on. He weighs 300 (considering he was a SHW) the rest of the time, so that is what it shall be. Paralympiakos (talk) 17:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Every single other fighter I've seen on Wikipedia has there fight weight or "Weigh In Weight" listed so why is Sean so special ? Red Rose Ritual (talk) 00:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As above. Every other fighter uses the wrong data. Think it through logically. As I've said, McCorkle weighs 263 for a matter of minutes, before piling weight back for his fight. Paralympiakos (talk) 00:56, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just think it looks kind of silly that nearly every other MMA fighter on wikipedia has there weigh in weight listed but i guess its your page you created it also there are probably gonna be alot of people trying to change it back to his weigh in weight the more popular he becomes thats going to be a pain in the behind.
