Ben Saunders Cut from the UFC.

[Paradigm]

Very weird. First time he was cut I think he was 2-2? Now 3-1 and gone?

Must be a little more to it. Maybe like the Kevin Souza situation, 4-fight deal expired and not enough room on the roster to renew him right now?

I'd bet he's back in the UFC by 2017 even if its as an injury replacement.

Not enough room on the roster lol.

 

[Blayt7hh]

It must have been a contract dispute or something

 

[Crimson Glory]

3-1 since returning, what the hell?

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[CountOfSoCal]

He should be 2-2 after the Robertson fight.

I'm still salty.

 

[Sano]

That's some straight up bullshit. Unless he wanted out of his contract.

 

[accolyte1022]

You've got Conor's buttboy Artie Luvbuv who's 0-2 and fighting once more on 202, yet Saunders is 3-1 and got cut? Bullshit move.

Artem is obviously a needle mover.

 

[DOMMA]

33 year old gatekeeper without a top 10 win since.....maybe forever, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Lost his last fight to another journeyman due to KO.

I like to watch Killa B but the cut is not as inconceivable as this thread indicates.

 

[ilfirin]

Such bullshit.

 

[Mohawk Mauler]

Maybe it's a good thing?

Has the chance to fight some where else,some where he can make some big $....Or at least more sponsor $ lol

Dude is kill or be killed in the cage he won't have any trouble being signed else where.

 

[neomage2021]

How can you cut a guy who wins AND is entertaining? Wtf

maybe because he hardly ever fights

 

[Goatenstein]

More proof that the UFC is a joke.

Don't be surprised if some veteran fighters are "released" or don't resign after talking to the new ownership about the direction they'll be taking the company in.

I think this is the first of many "cuts".

 

[VAfan]

He does post here once in a while.

yeah it always sucks when someone who posts here gets cut. i tend to root for those guys.

 

[CC27]

He wasnt cut he likely had a 4 fight deal and a new deal wasnt reached.

Not every fighter has to be kept, not every fighter wants to take same deal, not ever fighter UFC feels they need or want.

 

[Steve08]

That's a bummer.

 

[chubbman]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeit

 

[JohnyBrabo]

What the fuck.

Terrible cut. 3-1 in his return and dude brings it every time.

 

[Fahcough]

but my first reaction is: BS cut.

BS. lol its funny cause his name
