That was to be expected with Sarah

 

[Sweater of AV]

Had a lot of hope for Almeida. Things went south in a hurry.

Erin Blanchfield is, IMO, likely to win, and Sarah Alpar might well get cut at that point. She has plenty of money, plenty of time, there are no more excuses for her or from her.

The whole "woe is me" GoFundme thing might well backfire on her if she gets cut BEFORE she might otherwise have got cut.

as I predicted a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry but Alpar lost her first 2 fights in a row in the UFC. She's quite tough but simply not UFC calibre, plus the whole Jake Paul / Triller US$25,000 donations "game" thing cannot have sat well with the UFC (not quite her fault but....)
It was more or less inevitable she got cut .....et voila.!

Almeida had 4 losses in a row. That's the reason for him. He's quite good but....4 losses in a row is usually the end.

Hmmm Mike Rodriguez shouldve gotten one more despite the skid, other cuts are totally the right choice

He had a ton of potential but never reached it. It's a real shame because when he was good, he was a lot of fun to watch

21-0 then…

1-5 in his next 6.

Wish Almeida would've been given a step down and one more chance but can't blame the UFC, he's lost his last four and he fights like once a year lately. Sad to see a guy with that kind of talent drop off so bad.

What fight was this in response to? I can see Dede there on the left so one of his fighters lost?

 

[BobsyaUncle]

The crazy thing is there are still two women on the roster who Sarah Alpar was able to beat.

Maybe Aldo McGregor?

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Damn almeida is a bad cut, guy still has potential or had potential to be something but he hasn’t been the same since the cosy fight. Still he could of been good gatekeeper but I understand the cut since he has been losing a lot.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Alpar was one of the worst fighters to ever fight in the UFC

Arroyo was terrible

Rodriguez meh there's plenty of bad fighters like him on the roster

Tough break for Almeida, I'm sure he'll get scooped up by the B-leagues and do alright

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Almeida needs to find that passion again. He's got a lot of skill but the desire seems to have faded.

It's sad to see when a fighter takes a tough loss and it seems like all of their mojo is gone. Or maybe it's a step up in competition? Almeida just looked way more fast and powerful back then.

 

[Osiris3657]

3 out of 4 are DWCS cans, stop signing so many cab drivers from the contender series

"OmG, EvEryOne fRoM Cs sUckS"

Another idiot that is such a hater they don't realize all the good fighters that have come from that show

 

[Xuh]

they should have booked Alpar vs Almeida to keep one of them, IMO Almeida would smash Sarah like a Piñata for 2 rounds then she accidentally grazes his chin with her elbow while trying to cover up and he's out cold.

Martinez was supposed to be that step down, and after seeing Jonathan lose to Davey Grant like that, Almeida should have really beat him. He's just washed at this point.

 

[runjay]

They better get rid of Herman’s old ass too then

I think his game just has too many holes in it for him to survive in the deep end at BW. He came up as the young gun in an era of wrestle-boxers who didn't really have great boxing. He had a simple game and allowed him to bring his finishing ability to bear but these days the game has evolved a bit to where that strategy doesn't work and the holes in his defense become more apparent.

Really I think he needs a step down in competition more than anything, wish he could've gotten that within the UFC but it'd be nice to see him gain confidence outside the UFC and come back down the line though I wouldn't hold my breathe on it.
