Makes sense to cut Despaigne. He's already 36, if he can't beat Austen Lane by now he doesn't have much of a future in the UFC. Anybody who has basic wrestling ability can beat his ass lol.

Nicolau harsh to say the least. Arent there dudes still employed that he beat like Dvorak, Kape and Elliot? And his ufc record is 7-4 not 4-3

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Rebelis probably off to PFL. Such a disappointment that dude was.

 

[Koala]

I liked Nicolau, he was not that far from a title shot before the Royval fight and then went 0-3
And it's not like there is a 125 division in another org that pays well
Maybe go fight Mokaev in Brave
Despaigne should go to Karate Combat

 

[Dorkman]

They wanted despaigne to be a cross over success so much. Guy just clearly didn't have it.

Nicolau harsh to say the least. Arent there dudes still employed that he beat like Dvorak, Kape and Elliot? And his ufc record is 7-4 not 4-3

He's still top10, even. He went 3-0 in his first run and then got one loss and was cut. This time, it was a 4 fight winning streak, then cut for a 3 fight losing streak, and they're all pretty decent, other than I think the UFC will probably cut Perez too. Rough go.

Kape's been winning a bunch since, so I get that. Elliott hasn't fallen off either. But yeah, Dvorak was cut, and Schnell probably would have been too if he didn't retire

Despaigne

Grand openin'

Grand closin'!

Legit didn't know that Despaigne already fought three times in the UFC, I thought he had only one fight.

 

[TITS]

Pineda retired.

RIP Robelis. You could have been the best ITD fighter ever if only you could stop a td.

SAME!

Was susprised when I looked it up

 

[Ares Black]

Nicolau is the only remotely controversial cut IMO

 

[Last Falconry]

guy has a semmy schilt standing reach but can't throw a kick without falling over. Nasty business

 

[xhaydenx]

Also pretty sad for Robelis. The dude was just gonna keep getting held down by low level guys to a decision, and I've been betting on him to go to a decision for huge odds. 8.00 last time even though it had happened in his previous fight.

 

[Thesnake101]

Harsh for Nicolau, he's going to be kicking himself in the butt for doing nothing in the first round against Asu.

 

[Luthien]

These are the type of dudes the UFC desperately needs to grow in the minor leagues instead^^

 

[Xuh]

Face DesPaigne
Face DesPaigne
Ripping his contract to piiiiiiiiiieeeeeces

 

[HHJ]

Despaigne could go to PFL and get sacrificed to Biggus Frankus

 

[Natural Order]

Wasted opportunity by the UFC in not matching up Bigi Boy vs The Big Boy.

Battle of the Big Boys, to see who the biggest is! Ya!
