Given the firings, cutbacks, downsizings, and cutting of fighters, I hereby dub the WME's tackover and strategy as The Thin-in-ing.

Opens up more fight slots for the guys who matter. Also more talent for bellator to swoop up, it's not terrible

 

[UL]

I can add another 59 easily

Cuts = better cards

 

[trblesome1]

Really no surprises on the list, in fact there are more guys I thought would get the axe whos names are not there

I agree. There are way too many fighters, too many cards, at this point. I like the idea of higher quality cards.

[Boevik]

Who?

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

Makes sense. If you look at ALL of events for the rest of the year, it's one decent fight for main event, and a buncha fucking bums. Cards are weak as shit.

 

[Readybodisready]

Good. Lose the dead weight. Increase efficiency.

 

[Sleepdancer]

Not Kevin Casey the excitement machine.

I like barn cat and Robertson, sad to see them go. Especially Robertson. Two split decision losses is a rough way to go out.

 

[Senkoy]

They should cut even more. Only the best of the best should be in the UFC.

Tamdan is one of the most exciting fighters out there: if he wins or loses it will be a spectacular highlight. You gotta respect doods that just scrap, dont care about the outcome

 

[Limit Smasher]

I think McCrory should have gotten another shot. Guy is super talented and exciting but just happened to get caught by the first KO'S of his career. Fighting Nate Marquardt is a gamble. He could either show up looking completely spent or he could pull some Tekken combo shit.

They're both exciting, and I don't like seeing them go. Thought Robertson actually beat Saunders, too.

 

[Jermei]

UFC needs only the elite fighters + a "farm team" to season the prospects.

All other sports have elite rosters with guys trying to get in. They need that second tier with options to get called up.

 

[Morris88]

Not Kevin Casey the excitement machine.

He'll end up in Bellator I've no doubt

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

I'm totally ok with this. They need to sign some more serious LHWs and HWs tho.

 

[Buff]

Not Kevin Casey the excitement machine.

Payback for fucking up Ali's send off.

 

[Philtard]

Don't like to see someone out of a job but it'll make for better quality cards.
