Fighters that were cut from UFC too early

[CutStryker]

Rousimar Palhares

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Fighter Kevin Lee.

 

[puppybird]

Was Lorenz Larkin cut or just get a better deal?

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Andrei Arlovski. He was originally released on off of a win. Dana always said they screwed up in dealing with him the first time around.

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Matt Riddle

 

[frederick]

Albert Tumenov

Yeah I don't get that cut at all. Wtf it's been 6 years since his last fight in the UFC. Cut after a loss to Leon Edwards

 

[BobsyaUncle]

Seeing Rob Wilkinson fight for PFL last night reminded me how he definitely deserved a little more rope. Took a debut on relatively short notice against Bahadurzada. Then matched up with Adesanya (his debut but there was already a fair bit of hype around him). Then cut.

Semtex , I know he screwed up royal , but they could have fined and or suspended him instead

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

Rousimar Palhares

i don’t think there has ever been a more justified release in history.

 

[Ares Black]

It's bad when you get cut after a win.

Spoiler

He got cut after a loss though.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

He got cut after a loss though.

Well it was bound to happen one day. I was wrong.

 

[Ares Black]

Well it was bound to happen one day. I was wrong.

I know how much you love being wrong.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

John Lineker.
Cut him after one loss to Cory Sandhagen
He’s now the ONE Bantamweight champ and incarnation of the JBG.

 

[kingmob6]

Artem Lobov - how dare they cut this God among kids.

 

[tritestill]

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

Was he still on his 800 K Guarantee per fight contract?

 

[Bork Neslar]

Rin Nakai

 

[jjresq]

Taylor Lapilus

 

[Larzon]

Bam Bam. Wins the next and he'll get a title shot haha

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Alex da Silva and Kai Kamaka III.

Both would still be on the UFC roster had referees not inserted themselves into the fight outcome and deducted points.

Gaetano Pirello probably had the roughest schedule. He was cut after losing to Ricky Simon and Douglas Silva da Andrade; who are both Top 15 BWs.
