Rumored UFC releases since cuts announced

[El Fernas]

Pertis makes likes 310k to won plus max Reebok money, so 350k in his last two. Plus the chance to get 50k bonuses.

I dont know where he is going to go that he thinks he will make more money. Bellator isnt going to pay him more than that.

They probably offered less, also there is the fact that he could be more competitive in other orgs, Bellator or PFL and make enough money while winning fights more often than in the UFC.

They'd release him if they could I'm sure, he must be entitled to another fight under the terms of his contract.

My thought exactly. I think the only thing White has said to be true is letting guys fight out their contracts and especially if they are to be sacrificial to an upcoming/promising or exciting vet fighter. I could be wrong though as I do not subscribe to much of what White ever says. I mean, how did he go from having a girly voice 3/4 of his life to it changing drastically, not to mention the size of his jaw and head in general.

 

[CHUTE_BOXE78]

I am surprised some bigger names aren't on the list, or maybe they will be soon...like Jacare, JDS, Shogun, Woodley, Maia, Weidman, McGee, Oleynik, Latifi, St. Preux, Villante, Iaquinta, Cerrone and Overeem with another loss...

I am not saying they will all be cut, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these guys are on the chopping block.

Likely they will fight the last of their contractual fight obligations. UFC needs the bodies to put on shows regardless at this point with so many possibilities of fights being postponed or scrapped.

I imagine the winner (probably Moras, Melo is absolutely terrible) will get a couple more fights.

people make a big deal about cuts but it happenes all the time but now if only a big deal cause ufc cut some stars first an people are mad.

if you look at who was cut or retired in decemeber other than yoel are you really shocked that a fighter that 1-4 or that upset that the chick that 7-6 record leaving.

 

[DoubleA012]

I was wondering if we would see Mike Perry get cut, but I'm also not surprised that he hasn't been.

 

[jban]

I expect to see Jacare and JDS on the cut list. Jacare is 41, coming off three straight losses. JDS has 4 straight losses. Both guys make Yoel Romero type show money. UFC can replace them with cheaper fighters.

 

[OrigFan255]

Cut 100 more fighters and open the 165 division, bump 170 to 175.

What are trying to do, turn MMA into boxing with 15 weight divisions?

Boxing has weight classes for every 4 lbs or sum shit, not 10 lbs.
And there are plenty of fights to spread between 155 and 170. The roster is inflated as it is.

 

[pseto223]

Why is Mike Jackson getting a fight when Dana said there was a large round of cuts coming??

Because Dana said Mike Jackson is "done" in the UFC, which naturally means he is not done and he'll get more fights.

Cut both of the Rosa's.. husband and wife.

mark de la rosa has already been cut: https://www.fightful.com/mma/report-mark-de-la-rosa-now-free-agent-after-four-straight-ufc-losses

But why man?

 

[AssassinFacedBaby]

Cut both of the Rosa's.. husband and wife.

She’s 4-2 in her last six with 3 finishes, shut up.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

I thought Rachel Ostovich would have had a nickname.

'Butterface'

 

[Feardafighta1126]

Iam suprised Gian Villante isn't among those names.

Gina villante is terrible. He needs to work on his skillset

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

I am just disappointed that not every single wmmaist isn't on the list

 

[Credo]

Probably bringing more views to the UFC than UFC is spending on ’im

Cut Maia coming off of one loss to the next title challenger? Crazy
