[VinceArch]

No surprise.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Legend is he's still warming up, waiting to land the perfect shot

 

[Ares Black]

I am absolutely shocked

 

[TCE]

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

Good riddance.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Good knight, sweet prince

 

[kingmob6]

Arnold Classic is next for the guy

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

I like the guy. . . .the fighter. . . not so much. Not surprised. Of course "freezing up" can happen, but at the tail-end of a skid it's pretty fair to give the cut.

 

[Thesnake101]

The HW move and a PFL stint will fix him up. It's mandatory for every other PFL HW champ to be a blown up LHW.

 

[PhilMcCavity]

I don’t like this one bit

 

[The_Renaissance]

Shame because he was freakishly likeable given his frame and could be a good finisher. But the dude froze in too many fights. Getting smashed and finished by Devin Clark is an awful look. He's now 11-5 I think, if he racks up 3 finishes he could get a recall but he's not young either. Anyway, loved his hulkup finish of that undefeated lad on DWCS who seemed hyped. Maybe see him again maybe not. Needs to heavily impress and improve to get one.

If he cant land that overhand right he’s done. Last fight his mobility was compromised and couldn’t sit on his shots. Therefore he couldn’t adapt.

His last performance was reminiscent of the later career of Tyron Woodley, freezing up for almost the entire fight and just being unable to pull the trigger for whatever reason.

i had a feeling

It's a shame but fighters need to know when they get to the big leagues... don't just stand there like an idiot for the entire fight.

This ain't the YMCA Fight League.

 

[Kryptt]

It was a very bad showing and I don't find the cut entirely surprising. Still think he has plenty of good fights left in him but will see. No doubt I'll catch him with another Org.

Part of the fun of doing Tap cards for multiple Orgs is recognizing fighters as they shift around. Some I know immediately but many I've gone "Oh, hey ex-UFC scrapper!" Kinda applies to Bellator, ACA and ONE I suppose as well. So many names nowadays without Tapology I doubt I'd remember a fraction of them.

Granted Tyron was 38-39 during his downturn. He was already leaving his prime when he took the belt from Robbie.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

They released Jordan Wright too, which is also not surprising.

Bye Thicc Willy!

No sooner did you get your cool nickname on the big show than you got cut, son.
