Close fight with Shara and getting fucked over by Weidman puts a couple of asterisks in that skid.

Even then, and it is a stretch imo since the Weidman fight was a dogshit performance before the pokes and Shara was a clear loss, he still lost 5 of his last 6 fights. 1 of those to a mediocre returning fighter in Naurdiev where he didn't get anything going, and then that 1 minute mauling by a Barriault on a 3-fight losing streak.

Most importantly he and his team admitted he was struggling with anxiety (on top of having to fight without his usual stack of roids) which meant he struggled to pull the trigger in the cage. He should've never made the walk for the MAB fight.

It's okay still have Anderson's other son Erick Silva. Who is only 20 something years old and a rising prospect. This kid is the future.

Agreed that kid looks promising af.

Shara deserved the win, but I remember thinking I wouldn't have been too upset if it went the other way.
I'm not mad at him getting cut. I just think context matters. Wish he'd taken a little time off or even gotten therapy.

It’s essentially simulated fight to the death, injuries will occur. But your post just made me think, most of the successful ones do leave this sport broken. Conor, Anderson, Bispings. Only one I can think of GSP & Khabib seems to be the ones who are unscathed.

And GSP was having memory issues and time lapses while he was still training and competing and he is one of the most defensively sound fighters ever. There are guys like Spencer Fisher too who never became champion, but had a long career in the UFC and he is all fucked up now.
 
Thats cold


The ufc was like take your fuckin cracked skull and get outta here

Imagine getting your head caved in and waking up to a pink slip



there are distinctions to make. In this case he was cut, But bader for example was removed from roster because he didn't resign.

I agree. One of them was getting cut that night, Bruno was just unlucky and it ended up being him. Matching 2 guys on a losing skid normally means both are fighting for their jobs and the loser is 100% getting cut if not both of them depending on how the winner performs. Marc Andre was also lucky he finished him in an exciting fashion otherwise his ass likely would have been booted too with a boring decision victory.

he was probably not going to get boo'd in montreal regardless of his performance, but yeah he was on the chop block. And somehow, He's already been signed to fight sharabutin, whom we know the UFC fancies quite a bit. Expect his cut after that loss.
 
Wish this guy well. I know he spoke of his struggles and it sucks to see him fall like this
 
The guy was begging for asking for last chance. They gave it to him with the memo that if he loses this is his last one. There was an article on that.
He was battling some mental issues when it comes to fighting.
So he knew it's a wrap once the fight ended.

He was also never the same after Chris Weidman eyepoked the shit out of him.

That shit pisses me off to this day. Weidman is no longer my boy after that. And then after the fight he had the gall to say Bruno shouldnt react like he did after getting repeatedly eyepoked. The fact that fight wasnt a No Contest is pathetic.
