Why throw excitement out the window?

 

[Threetrees]

Hate to root for a guy to lose his job, but the UFC was just waiting for an excuse to release Elias lol

 

[Normo]

Elias Theodorou doesn't like to fight. That is a good release

 

[Krixes]

At least I won't have to cringe through another Elias fight.

Dana to Elias: "Do you wanna be a fucking fighter?!"

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Man. Hate to say it, but can they even afford to release fighters... Can't even fill out a ESPN+ card a month away... Plus, still waiting on the main for San Antonio before buying tickets.

 

[surgeyou1]

Lol damn. They must have really hated Elias.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Elias Theodorou deserves better lol

 

[Doughie99]

Elias was a tedious fighter, jogging around the cage to evade the opponent, when was the last exciting Elias fight? He was living on borrowed time I think.

There over 600 fighters on the roster

If they cant fill cards its because fighters arent takng fights

 

[Greg House]

Thank you UFC.

To Elias:

 

[TripTictonic]

Is Theodorou the first guy to be released not because of his record but because of his horrid fighting style? Who was another, Roshalt?

Last Theodorou fight I watched in its entirety was against Thiago Santos. I've purposefully avoided them since, and now I don't have to!

And are they keeping flyweight or not??

 

[Wolf Of Sherdog]

Lol its bad being happy for someone losing their job but Elias asked for it with his performances. Im sure he can now dominate the male ballette scene

 

[ApplesVild]

I can see Elias coming back.. Lost one in his last 4..

 

[Deleted member 560591]

It’s the right move.

Don’t tell us about Elias‘ record. His performances are embarrassing for the company and ugly to watch for the fans.
