Let’s predict who is gonna get cut

[Doug Money]

Honestly if Yoel was cut then Teh Chris and Cockhold should be given the boot as well.
Tyron cause hes almost 40 and 0 and 3.
Maybe Arlovski, i dont know how many fights are left on his contract tbh, but between him, JDS and Oleinyk, id pick pitbull.
Overeem aint goin anywhere.
Harris wont be cut cuz too much drama
Diego is leaving town after his next match.
That russian douche that fought Perreira is getting the axe fpr sure, if he hasnt already.

 

[Pault1989]

Me seeing Masvidal and Blaydes mentioned.

Somehow cant see the UFC cutting one of the few challenges for Stipe thats not a rematch and one of their few PPV draws.

He's soo fucking boring tho I can see Dana giving him his marching orders!

 

[Straatblaffer]

Assuming this is true, which I don't really believe, why is this a problem?

An unknown guy who is 20-0 on the regional circuit deserves a shot in the UFC. Guys like Shogun and Lil Nog should not be in the UFC.

If that's what u want, just watch LFA, Bellator etc. I prefer to watch Romero, Ferguson, Felder, Overeem etc over random prospects. Sure, Lil Nog should not be in the UFC (and he isn't, he retired) , but Dana says 60 guys will be cut. Expect some big names. It will make the UFC Bellator 2.0. Slightly bigger prospects, but mainly a pool of unknown guys that fight for a few dollars. I really don't mind people liking this, but I personally don't see how new fans will be attracted to this. I watch most promotions on Fight Pass, and the UFC simply distinguises itself with name value

 

[Serge421]

Shogun Rua
Matt Wiman
Jose Quinonez
Devin Clark
Spike Carlyle
Ashley Evan's smith
Luke Sanders
Stefan struve

There are currently 11 divisions in the UFC (not counting women's 145), with 16 fighters "ranked" in each division. That's 176 fighters who are currently champion or ranked top 15.

How many of those 176 fighters do you expect to be cut?

 

[RightToBareKnuckles]

Shogun Rua
Matt Wiman
Jose Quinonez
Devin Clark
Spike Carlyle
Ashley Evan's smith
Luke Sanders
Stefan struve

Matt Wiman seems likely. came back from a 5 year hiatus and is now 0-3, with that brutal slam KO his most recent loss. also is 37 years in the LW division...

 

[Mal Intentions]

MAKE SOME ACTUAL GUESSES!!!! GIVE SPECIFIC NAMES!!!


Dana says 60 people are getting cut

Let’s get all of the “cut WMMA jokes/comments” out of the way quickly so we can have a real discussion

Who are the likely victims?

Cowboy
Mike Perry
Woodley
Jessica Eye
Shogun?
Marion Reneau?
Andrea Lee
Ashlee Evan Smith
Diego Sanchez
EDIT: Almost forgot Robbie Lawler

Who jumps out to you?

all of them except cowboy and perry

20-25

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Honestly not sure. Shogun and Sanchez were good guesses, but to me Woodley and Cowboy hold too much value to cut

Good elbow shogun could be LHW champ 2021

 

[EndlessCritic]

20-25

20-25 is actually possible considering how weak the womens divisions are. I wouldn't at all be surprised if about 10 ranked men and 10 ranked women are cut.

almost a 1/3 little from eh division
question is if JDS wins do they still cut him.. his not the favorite

 

[thebesteva21]

I think action fighters and fan favorites like Cowboy and Perry are safe even if their records are bad, Dana loves exciting fighters. Especially Cowboy.

Arlovski was a good guess by somebody, he gets paid way too much to do what he does. Same with Woodley. If Wiman doesn’t retire he will definitely be cut.

I feel bad for the fighters, hopefully this helps with these watered down fight night cards (and PPVs).

I think most expensive older fighters will be cut. Guys like Lawler, Weidman, Arlovski, JDS etc.

 

[DivineMind]

Weidman 100%. Sanchez. JDS. Hall.

 

[TITS]

You can probably figure it out by looking at http://rankingmma.com/

My guess is:

HW - Villante, Struve, De Castro, maybe Latifi
LHW - Shogun, Alvey, Antigulov, maybe OSP
MW - Markus Perez, di Chirico, Marshman, Trevor Smith, Safarov, Neto
WW - Gunnar, McGee, Meek, Ivy, maybe Cole Williams
LW - Camacho, Wiman, Lauzon, maybe Yancy
FW - Stephens, Bektic, Choi, Fishgold, maybe Carlyle and Aguilar
BW - Assuncao, Wineland, Almeida, Pilarte, Morales, Martin Day, maybe Baldo if he loses again
FLW - De la Rosa, Bruno Silva, Elliot if he loses again
Womens - Markos, Evans-Smith, Andrea Lee, Casey, Ostovich, Karolina, Herrig, Cifers

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I think you'll see a lot of legends and/or former champions with no upside getting let go.

Shogun, Woodley, JDS, Lawler, Arlovski.

You'll see what UFC really thinks of people that have given their heart and soul to the company.

I don’t think Cowboy will be cut, he’ll be pushed into retirement. Some will be based on pay, some on records and others on being over the hill.

Weidman
Woodley
Lawler
Shogun if he doesn’t retire
Cowboy if he doesn’t retire
Diego if he doesn’t retire

How would those be bad cuts? None of those guys are contenders anymore.

question is if JDS wins do they still cut him.. his not the favorite

Uhh... if JDS gets finished it will be his 4th straight KO loss. Don't you think the UFC should be telling someone like that to retire?
