News DANA WHITE CONFIRMS(Video): Yair Rodriguez Out For a While. Time to cut him again?

[Sirwastealot]

They should do a bait and switch on yair. Make the fight with cub swanson or someone and on the day have zabit walk out to some boss intro music.

Because trolling you is easy

0/10. Worst troll job. You got 2 replies and didn't maintain the conversation with poorly defended points for repeated posts. Come on. That's just crap trolling.

 

[Nabs]

Yeah time to cut that diva.

 

[Maxi937]

Did zabit not pull out of the last fight that was scheduled between him and yair?

If so, makes sense that yair doesn't want to be scheduled to fight him again.

 

[Dionysian]

I'm tired of this. Zabit has flushed away... what is it now... two years of his prime? YEARS of his prime flushed down the toilet lobbying to fight this duck that clearly will never fight him. Yes, Yair is a complete disgrace and should have been cut years ago. But Zabit looks ridiculous in this by continuing to chase a duck that has pulled out 4 times prior. What makes you think the 5th time would be any different?

 

[Benoitthegr8]

it’s nearly impossible to attempt to be a fan of either one of those fighters, between ducking, cherry-picking, avoiding 5 rounders, or inactivity neither one deserves anything besides preliminary bouts

 

[Fight Professor]

Yair made it clear the first time he would rather get cut than fight Zabit.

 

[FrankMirFan89]

They should have done Holloway/Zabit, and Yair/Kattar

Don't understand why Kattar got that fight when he's ranked lower

 

[VaselineSweep]

Yair finished Korean Zombie, which is far more impressive than Ortega winning a decision, he should get the title shot !

Hail Mary

 

[LetThemBleed]

Whats going on. Wasnt he supposed to fight Volkanovski?

#Cejudo for third belt!

Lol what? When was Zabit supposed to fight Volkanovski?

 

[Evangelion]

Also how come we dont hear Dana shitting all over Yair like he does so many other fighters?

Noob or just forgot? Ufc cut Yair for turning down so many fights but later resigned him because of fan backlash

i forgot sue me
also my question still stands. that was then this is now.

bbbbut the mexican market!!!

 

[NFLDer]

Imagine if Yair became champ. He be worst than McGregor when it come to defending the belt.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Cut them both. Dana as well.

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

Yair doesn't want a belt. He just wants a participation trophy.

He’s a very good fighter. It’s so weird he doesn’t want this fight. They gotta get zabit a top contender fight.

UPDATE: Coach Mark Henry confirms.

Yair management has some involvement im sure.

 

[Joinho10]

Yair management has some involvement im sure.

I think you're right. Yairs management is Kawa and he has a big beef with Ali whos co-managing Zabit.

I think you're right. Yairs management is Kawa and he has a big beef with Ali whos co-managing Zabit.

Any fighter in the ufc is too proud to dodge a fight five times. Tito didnt even try and duck Chocolate L five times. It has to be partially management involvement.

 

[Oeshon]

IMO they should just make examples out of a couple of fighters who blatantly duck. Might lose 2 decent fighters, but long term benefits for UFC.

Or if not cutting them, just offer them only extremely low-profile fights after ducking top contenders.

Keep him on the roster but only offer him Zabit fights.
