Romero is “on the decline” as Dana says, and at 300-400k a fight cutting him three fights short basically pays a Conor show money for free. All revenue after that. Had to get it done somehow....
 
it is sickening ufc cut romero.

who the fuck do they think they are cutting the soldier of god like that.

but romero dont need the ufc he is it he best middleweight in the world and the best middleweight there ever was. he would kill prime andy, it wouldnt even be a close fight.
 
I think Romero got at least 500k compensation for the termination of the contract without fighting / instead of getting around 500k - 1 Million (win bonuses etc) for his last 3.
 
Romero will get paid wherever he ends up. Could be Bellator, could be RIZIN, could be ONE, could be PFL. Regardless, he'll get paid. Probably better for his health he's not fighting against top tier guys anymore, though Moose is a top tier guy.

Regardless, he's probably happy to not deal with USADA anymore.

Why would they pay him anything? Their contracts give the UFC the right to release anyfighter? They only owe them Show money if they don't offer them a fight within the time period and do not release them.

Its all about Conor didn't you get the memo?
Wait until Jan 1st when they launch the new name of this website. Still deciding on whether it should be ConorDog or McGregorDog. Mods can we make a poll?
 
Dana cut Romero because he failed to get the belt after 4 title shots - FOUR. And the one he could've got he came in heavy vs Rockhold..

Like someone else says Romero was hovering around the top 5 and clogging up the title picture and most likely would've knocked down potential opponents for Izzy, and coupled with his boring fight with Izzy there weren't many plus sides left of keeping him.

And Conor doesn't need the money anymore. Anything he gets from the UFC is just play money and that's it. He's just fighting now because it's something to do.
 
“During this whole pandemic you haven’t seen me fire anyone”
- Dana

connor decides he wants to come back and that all changes. Pretty sickening.

Romero had his chances, and he had way more than anyone. He's literally 1-4.

I've said it before, he should have gone for broke against Izzy. It's dumb to waste a title shot. Yes, I know he favors counter striking. But there are times when you need to step out of your comfort zone.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins a belt in another org.

I didn't know that (right to release). So he got his show money which is probably still around 500k for three fights.
