Should UFC have cut/not resigned Mokaev? POLL

[HHJ]

LET THE COURT OF POPULAR OPINION DECIDE

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I think this poll is gonna suffer from recency bias. If it was started in like, a month or two and not fresh off that fight, more people would look at the record, which is what fighters fight for, and not the relative action.

Plus, I don't know how much everyone knows about the supposed reason he was released, which was more the backstage incidents and headaches. I know I know nothing about about any of that, so those could be very legitimate reasons for his release.

Makes 0 sense.

If he's a pain in the ass for the UFC to deal with behind the scenes he's gotta go, regardless of his undefeated record or fighting style.

 

[sonhow]

Depends on what he did - by what I saw then absolutely not - theres nothing wrong or anything someone else hasnt already done yet and gotten away with it. Im talking bout the Kape fight of course.

 

[OldBoy91]

I don't think they should cut anybody that isn't losing their fights, no matter how boring they are.

I like to maintain at least some illusion that this is still a sport and not just a popularity contest.

 

[Carrotman23]

Like others have said you can't make this judgment without knowing what supposedly happened at the PI and during fight week that pissed off the matchmakers, but unless he did something extremely egregious then no he shouldn't be cut.

If anyone should be cut from the fight itself it's Kape who never throws shit.

 

[StewDogg11]

It blows my mind people still don’t understand what “cut” means. With that being I wouldn’t have resigned him either.

 

[TCE]

If you have the match makers wanting you gone, then you've obviously been an absolute dick behind the scenes.

 

[Scheme]

Impossible to say without the details.

Probably thought he deserved the TS over erceg and was getting all pissy about it

 

[balkanbomber85]

You guys should just get over it, who cares that a guy from your cultural background got cut?

We got over Theodoru, who was like the nicest guy, 8-3 in the UFC and 3-1 in his last 4, never lost 2 in a row, and you will also get over Mokajev.

 

[sdpdude9]

No, I want a legitimate sport with the best competing. You don’t get rid of a 23 year old that’s undefeated and 7-0 in the promotion. Especially in a division that needs contenders. He even has finished majority of his fights in the promotion.

 

[The Siege]

We need more information obviously.

If it was a professionalism thing behind the scenes, then I can't really blame them. Even though they have let some of the most unprofessional shit slide from other fighters, they are the employer after all, and can choose to let you go if you are hard to work with.

If it was based on his fight style, AND if what he said was accurate, that they told him he needs to wrestle less, then that is a pretty bad sign about the direction the UFC is heading. The UFC directly attempting to influence fights like that is wild.

He was 23, undefeated, with plenty of years before he would even hit his prime. Hopefully, more information comes out.

Getting cut means you still have fights or years left on your contract. Mokaev simply wasn’t resigned. Youre welcome dipshit.

 

[BangBang]

Not causing any damage, stifling and neutralising. All part of the fight game and indo appreciate it but fuck sake man......

Clearly going with Khabib's style and game plan.

Devastated I am.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Fucking obviously not, this isn't the Ultimate Swell Guy Championship.

You also don’t want someone who brags about sucker punching people in a hotel.

No, we want a promoter who slaps his wife, a heavyweight champion who causes miscarriages and a biggest star who attacks a bus in a gang.
