Can't really argue with any of those releases imo. Lewis was a massive disappointment in particular.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

what kind of name is Bevon

 

[MMA92585]

I think Justin Ledet was undefeated at heavyweight. Then, he dropped to 205 and couldn't win a single fight.

 

[Okajima]

Not Bevon Lewis!!??!

 

[King in the North]

Ledet seemed legit for a minute. His awful haircut will be missed.

 

[Martialbeef]

Marshmann still has a spot?

 

[Raffen]

About time they released lewis. The guy never trained a day of grappling in his life.

Bevon Lewis being released after a single loss? Granted it was a TKO loss but fighters lose and stay in the organization all the time.

What happened in this case especially?

All deserved to get cut 100% no complaints from me

Maybe i'm just being nostalgic and have selective memory on this, but it feels like the standards for being signed and getting to stick around are a lot lower than they used to be. Phillips lost his first three and ultimately went 1-5 ffs.

What happened in this case especially?

He was 1-3 in his last 4 and he looked really bad in his last one.

 

[BigTruck]

I could go for a roasted turkey stuffed with rosemary seasoned stuffing, green bean casserole, garlic butter mash potatoes, gravy, yams and lemon balsamic glazed asparagus and tiny pearl onions

 

[Jose Beehive]

Is Dequan Townsend still about? if so how did he not get cut.

Remember when losing 3 In a row was essentially guaranteed your release.

 

[Bob Sapp]

good fuk em

Bevon Lewis being released after a single loss? Granted it was a TKO loss but fighters lose and stay in the organization all the time.

What happened in this case especially?

He lost 3 of his last 4, but at 185 the roster isnt very solid. Maybe he somehow has a better contract than 12k contender guys?

Dequan Townsend

I think he got cut a couple weeks ago.
It was after the Holm/Aldana fight.
