Fighters that were cut from UFC too early

[Tweak896]

What fighters were cut with an unfair strength of schedule in the UFC? Who did they lose to?

Like anyone that was given too many killers in a row and cut before they were known to be killers. Or just anyone that was cut from a bad string of losses to good fighters. I'll go first...

Pat Healy: Also only lost by decision.

UFC record:
L - Gleison Tibau : Even Khabib struggled with Tibau, he's a giant LW.
L - Jorge Masivdal : Masvidal was always one of the top fighters, even early on.
L - Bobby Green : Green was on a 6 fight win streak and undefeated in the UFC at the time.
L - Khabib Nurmagomedov: Khabib is already 4-0 in the UFC already.
W > NC - Jim Miller : Wins first fight against a vet, changed to NC for weed.

Overeem. Cut after a single loss. Had won his 2 previous fights. Was 3-2 in his last 5.

Not a great fighter or anything, but since Yakovlev lost twice when his opponent missed weight, they could have taken that into account.
But they just cut him lol.

Curtis Millender, won his first 3 then took 2 short notice fights a month apart and lost (Zaleski, then got blanketed by Belal). They should have given him one more chance.

Was a silly release. Didn't make sense to me

Sam Alvey, I know he just signed a new contract but I fear If he wins some he'll be cut

Kyoji Horiguchi.

Jason High was released too early during his first UFC stint 1 loss to Charlie Brenneman.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

They should have let Erick Sylva bang a few more times.

Alex Da Silva Coelho

Amilcar Alves

How has no one posted Jon Fitch yet?

He’s the obvious answer.

Kai Kamaka. He beat Tony Kelly who is fighting Yanez tonight. Then lost 2 fights, one being a super close split decision. His last fight in the UFC was an absolute brawl and ended in a Majority Draw because Kamaka was deducted a point for eye poke so he would've won had he not been deducted. Dude was super exciting every time he fought I really didn't understand why they cut him.

I remember the Miller win. Pat lost 100K in bonus money for that one. He was having his camps out here in Hawaii with Penn and got a little caught up in the island lifestyle. He took it all in stride. Said it was probably the most expensive joint anyone has ever smoked.

Yassah. 100% Kai is never in a boring fight. Even his last fight in Bellator was a brawl. The judging these last few years have been horrendous
