UFC releases Yushin Okami

I think Okami's on the downturn, ever since he got ktfo by Anderson he gets rocked all the time and is increasingly conservative in is style.

That said, i'm surprised they didn't use him to build up another fighter and then cut him.

Go to mmajunkie.com

Yeah, but they're the only site that has written about it. Feels like it would be on every mma website since he's a top 10 guy.

 

[Spinjira]

this is some bull. Just when the MW division was starting to fill out too...

Was all over twitter earlier as well.

On a 3 fight winning streak, then loses to a top 5 middleweight and gets cut? LOL

2 of his three opponents were top ten when he beat them and are both still with the company despite being on losing skids. And he finished an opponent. Jesus the UFC is a joke.

 

[Deffid]

If you are a "grinder", you better win almost every fight. Shitty cut but along with the Fitch cut, the message is pretty obvious.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Wow, I hope this is a fucking joke.

 

[PaulRFC53]

Absolutely awful.

Yeah, that's exactly how i feel. He lost to Jacare who's top 3, is that something you should get cut over???

 

[NBKondit**]

Wow WTF
dont like Yushin at all but this cut is confusing. 3fight win streak then a loss = cut?

 

[Riki Newton]

2 of his three opponents were top ten when he beat them and are both still with the company despite being on losing skids.

Yes. This. This is why we should all be very confused by the cut IMO

 

[Baconcandy12]

Kinda hard to believe this, something had to go down.

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

Anderson said "it's normal"

 

[fearoth]

What a joke, he was a good test for anyone.

 

[beef-fire]

so dumb.

 

[PivotPunch]

This is worse than releasing Fitch

 

[Fujita]

What the hell??

 

[PirateTetra]

Was all over twitter earlier as well.

Ok...

That's really sad. Very bad decision by the UFC.

 

[Hollywood Nicky]

kind of shocked about this, dana hurts the ufc creds when he does things that force fighters to fight x way or they get the axe.

dana would cut floyd mayweather if he was in the ufc.
