What do you guys think about Mccorkle? Has anyone seen tape on his striking? Is he any good? I know he has a lot of knockouts but he is very large so it could just be due to that.

His striking is sort of like Leonard Garcia without the total absence of technique. He throws alot of haymakers and not a whole lot else, but he's not quite so reckless with them. His ground game is really what he's good at.

He seems to win mostly by tko/ko. I know he got started training BJJ but what is his belt level? How are his takedowns? I would think he could take down struve because he has got to be strong.

You are like "it's only a buck, and I can win $1000!" But then you just lose a buck.

Yeah. It's true.

I had a seven fight mega parlay once where the first six fights hit and I got screwed on the last one. Varner vs Bendo.

It was something like $5 to win $169.

That happened to me too, but it was like a couple of bucks to win a thousand or a little more and I got one wrong. I was a sad poopoo

I just watched Koscheck-GSP. GSP pretty much handled him, I think a lot of it comes down to striking. GSP is much better than Kos, which allows him to set up takedowns a lot better. I don't see why that should change.

I had $100 parlay to win $11,500, and one to win over $10,000 before. Only loss for the 10,000 one was when evans knocked out Liddell(last one on the parlay) and the 11,500 one I only needed Kos, Maia, Sanchez and Marquardt @ UFC 95. As we all know, they all won except Kos got KTFO but Thiago.

I'm reviewing Struve and Mccorkles records. I currently have a wager on McCorkle to win by tko/ko. It was +384 so I grabbed it. I hope it was the right idea. A couple of things:

I have to wonder what Mccorkles gas tank is like, I feel like he could gas.
Struve is pretty good, he is probably more talented than McCorkle.
Looking at Struves UFC record, He submitted two guys that haven't really shown a lot but are better than any of Corkies opponents. He was knocked out twice. Morecraft almost knocked him out. Struve had a fairly close striking match with Paul Buentello, who is apparently about 6'2''?? I don't know if anyone else can confirm this, but that is a huge height and presumably reach difference. It makes me think there is a good chance McCorkle can catch him with a big punch..Though I think he is going to go for the takedown and ground and pound. Where he has a good chance of stopping Struve. I don't think he has a great chin and I think McCorkle can hit really damn hard if he is on top of someone.
