News Alexander Romanov is right about UFC HW fighters being cut

[JustOnce]

It makes no sense they cut him. He wasn't as boring as Buday either lol. Buday had better record, but that guy...

should've kept both though.

 

[Vampire life]

I mean, if you look at the current UFC roster, you will find that in the Male divisions, HW has the least fighters

View attachment 1109554


And over the past few years, some notable names has been cut from the UFC: Ruslan Magomedov (2015) Justin Willis (2019), Augusto Sakai (2023) but the ones who are recent are: Alvin Hines, Alexander Romanov, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Robelis Despaigne, Martin Buday, Jamal Pogues, Rodrigo Nascimento, Marcos Rogério de Lima and ofc Francis Ngannou whom got his contract expired...and some other names.

UFC HW fighters are getting same unfair treatment as Russian/Muslim/Dagestani fighters, the only HW fighters Dana Pink would treat well, give them sponsorships and promote them and suck their dick...etc are the ones who are cash cows and give him privilege are ones like Brock Lesnar, Gina Ducky Jones...etc, instead of real HW fighters who are willing to fight anyone, anytime like Tom Aspinall whom Dana and the UFC really wasted some of his prime for waiting for Jon Jones.

Thoughts on the Unfair treatment of UFC HW fighters?

That list sucks and 2015??? Really? He sucks too a guy who gasses in the first round like him should just shut up
He’s not ufc grade material that’s all

 

[Sticko]

But the UFC isn't regulated under usada anymore right?

They pay a different organization to administer the drug tests now. Do you think that means the results of past drug tests don't matter?

 

[Siver!]

UFC might as well cut the heavyweight division if it only wants exciting fighters.

The list is basically "Tom Aspinall" plus a few guys who hit hard but are otherwise shit.

 

[Shadey1]

They're cutting the boring ones but yes you can make a decent division out of them.

Romanov
Karl Williams
Augusto Sakai
Ilir Latifi
Marcos Rogerio de Lima
Rodrigo Nascimento
Jairzinho Rozenstruik
Jamal Pogues
Martin Buday
Blagoy Ivanov

Problem is nobody wants to watch those guys fight.

It's a shame really as Rozenstruik and De Lima were quite fun at moments. Out of that list, I'd have kept them two

 

[Epsteins Guard]

But we are all 265lbs ripped. Aren't you?

Nope, I'm 6'6 320 lbs, unfortunately I cant make HW, otherwise Id show them whats up.

 

[RockyLockridge]

let's see Dana and the UFC put a main card that has 5 HW fights then, Einstein

He already did it was a great card

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Will anyone miss him?

I wouldn't miss 2/3rds of the roster, but would still be astonished if the UFC released loads of fighters, including ranked ones on win streaks

 

[Jonjonesgonemad]

He already did it was a great card

I mean, let's see him do it again, why 2012 be the only year in which he puts 5 HW fights in a main card? I thought he wanted to make the UFC HW division great again.

because the UFC HW division doesn't have great fighters anymore. Even roy nelson, who was on that card and is not a great fighter, still produced entertaining bouts more often than not. closest thing we have now is lewis.

 

[Blastbeat]

Not surprised since you have a Fedor pfp and you Pride homosexuals who keep being nostalgic to the past would say that, well, let's see Dana and the UFC put a main card that has 5 HW fights then, Einstein

are you seriously saying the modern HW landscape is more exciting than Pride's or the era of UFC 146?
because that is a wild claim that definitely doesnt hold up. the HW division today is really boring outside of 4-5 fighters.

but yeah bro that doesnt matter, forget Stipe, Fedor, Cain and Cro-Cop, we have Austen Lane!

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Cant believe they let Robelis go without at least putting him up against Derrick Lewis first.

These were legends too, and there were fighters we shouldn't forget like Stefan Struve, Pat Barry, Lavar Johnson, Sean McCorkle...etc, these too, Bro? Bro, Austen Lane is not elite like these guys.

We have Aspinall, Gane, Volkov, Pavlovich, Blaydes, Rizvan, Gaziev, Tallison Teixeira, Walter Walker, upcoming and guys who are rising like Ante Delija will make his debut, Mario Pinto, Jhonata Diniz, Marcus Buchecha...etc.

Also Gable Steveson will make his MMA debut.

Not seeing too many legendary names on that list.

 

[Usssssyyyy]

They don't use USADA anymore

They should bring him back, not like he’s the only guy that cheated. Most top fighters probably do.

 

[Jonjonesgonemad]

Not seeing too many legendary names on that list.

Bro, their era is getting started, give them time, don't be such selfish dude

 

[Goatenstein]

If Gable Steveson is able to translate his wrestling to MMA he has an incredible shot at being the next face of male heavyweight mixed martial arts.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

it's the worst division in mma. can you blame them?

 

[Black Blood]

Seems most (not all!) of those HWs listed were some combination of big, boring, and sloppy...

Romanov and Williams both lost to minor league can drivers yesterday.
