News JDS and Overeem Released From UFC

[snackgod]

Where is the proof he had been cut from the UFC.

mma junkie not a source for you.

I remember when JDS stormed into the ufc, uppercuting fools left and right. Fking Rocky theme as his walkout song. I felt that everything is possible if you give it your all. Such great motivation for me.

Unfortunately he was let down by his team. They shouldn't allowed him to fight Cain for the third time, after that disgusting, lifer altering beat down. They should have just waited for Cain to lose to another fighter. It's Fking heavyweight.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

PFL looking kinda interesting this season too...

Filthy Tom is still fighting, eh? Tom Lawlor vs Dave Kaplan is one of my favorite fights.

 

[elwani]

Reem to Japan somehow

Return of Ubereem?

 

[Huligani]

Expected. They let go of Yoel after a very close loss in a title fight.

 

[pick999]

why not cut jim miller and clay guida instead?

 

[BowserJr]

Crazy to think that Overeem has been around for so much longer

 

[mraa1]

Overeem should go to Japan for one last hurrah like Mirko did. It's the only reason I'd tune in for Rizin (if it's even still around I dunno)

 

[Nuclear Fallout]

Where is the proof he had been cut from the UFC.

It's directly in the first post after he says it.

 

[Steve-French]

It makes sense as both have exorbitant contracts, but I still hate to see them leave. HW is so thin as it is, so it always sucks seeing big names leave. They should go to BKFC.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Not surprised with the JDS, Overeem was a little surprising. That being said they were paying him something like 500k win or lose and he just isn't a top guy anymore.

 

[Luthien]

Found myself surprisingly upset about this for a bit
Coming around to just feeling appreciative for the entertainment these two have brought me over the years
I wish them both luck in their respective careers going forward

 

[FredDurst4Ever]

Which 2 guys will be entering the HW rankings next week?

 

[mmacrisis]

Two guys who really don't need to take any more damage but most likely will.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

2 Legends of the sport, but makes sense with the recent trend of the UFC cutting expensive aging veterans.

Hopefully Overeem saved his money. I like to see these guys who have given their blood to this sport get taken care of.

 

[The XL]

Somehow, Arlovski is still on the roster, lol

 

[Nihongi]

I just wish they got to do it on their own terms and lay the gloves down in the octagon. Not told to get the fuck out and best wishes at bkfc or bellator.

They (the ufc) robbed two legends of a special moment, and they robbed the fans of that too.

would have loved to seen that after Overeem vs Derrick Lewis and JDS vs Arlovski

 

[Ruthless Ryan]

Prob is these guys lose they just dont lose they usually get finished brutally and being 40 ish with big contracts the future really isnt there for them. I'm sure AA knows he's close but it all depends on what he makes of course.

 

[ColombianFist]

BELLATOR INCOMING!!!

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

Im worried theyre gonna use this money to start another female weightclass
