Ben Saunders Cut from the UFC.

[reddhelium]

where you at, ben?

seriously, i would like to hear his comments. he was so pumped to be back in the ufc, i find it hard to believe he initiated a release.

 

[Joseph Budden]

I don't get it. Great action fighter who had a good run.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

very surprising, why would they cut him. there is so many worse fighters in UFC right now.

 

[RoscoeRufus]

Bullshit cut. it's clear the UFC does whatever it wants regardless of logic, but this release was a poor choice.

I feel like all of Sherdog just got cut, but at least Ben was representing us because I ain't passing USADA...

 

[Redhawks100]

There is more to this. Makes absolutely no sense.

Probably a contract dispute.

 

[SuperNerd]

Probably a contract dispute.

This is what I am assuming. Bellator or somebody is willing to pay more, give more freedom of sponsors, ect.

 

[MMA]

Surprised at the responses. Guy's not even an active fighter. For all we know, Killa B asked to be released.

 

[daprodigal2]

WTF? guy came back and showed how much better he has gotten. 3-1 in his return. hope he gets a good contract somewhere. he deserves some respect.

 

[lifelessheap]

FUCK THIS. Ben has a really fun and unique style and he always comes to try to finish guys. He is super fun to watch.

BOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[PreDaToRTacTiCs]

Dana gonna Dana am I right?

Yet Erick Silva is still in the roster and gets hyped like nothing ever happened.

 

[Coolidge]

UFC is garbage.

 

[Workaholic]

maybe because he hardly ever fights

If he doesn't fight they don;t have to pay him

So that isn't really a great reason either

 

[SheetsMMAfan]

Hey @Ben Saunders, this true???

WTF UFC.....

apparently saunders is fighting jacob volkmann in some casino & resort

 

[Cheapshart]

Knowing they weren't going to renew, they probably released him as a courtesy so he could do that casino/resort gig.

That show is the GOAT and this scene turned the Lt from an asshole politco into a great character.

 

[RoscoeRufus]

confirmed: no more omoplata finishes in the UFC

So that isn't really a great reason either

they still pay his health insurance which for a fighter can't be cheap. They still have to pay for him to be part of the wellness program, etc.
