Working on a post on Okami being cut with quotes from @danawhite explaining. Also, White said Mike Ricci was also cut. @YahooSports

this is not true. okami had a lot of fans here. take a look at threads for previous okami fights. okami always had respect from many on sherdog.

Absolutely.

We are often a minority, but we Okami fans stick together through thick and thin.

Yushin's looked off lately, even in his wins, but if there's not some inside stuff that we don't know about, then this is just a bad call.

If they just want everyone to fight balls out, then the sport at the highest level will be in trouble.

dana is a lot of things

a clairvoyant is not one of them

If you're talking Fitch, yeah, a lot of folks observed that he had seen better days. It didn't take a clairvoyant to see that. On the other extreme, some folks had their heads in the sand. Fitch was 1-2-1 in his last 4 UFC fights.

Okami was 3-1, with wins over good opposition.

i did read your post, and you answered your question

everyone is outraged because yushin is a legit fighter and got cut because he's just not that exciting

in that case lets fire all the fighters and have Dana turn the sport into a modern colyseum and hire a bunch of thugs who just want to beat the crap out of each other till someone gets seriously mauled, if its all about the money, that will sell a lot.

I think UFC should bring in tag team and and royal rumble fights

 

[CrimsonFan]

Just like Fitch. Shows man, if you're going to be boring as hell, you'd better win all your fights. Lose a few in a row, you're fucked.

 

[Moist]

UFC is supposed to have the best fighters in the world. This cut screams "just bleed." Good job trying to legitimize the sport, Dana.

Make that lose 1 in a row

 

[Shogun Rising]

You seriously think the people on here that are complaining watch other sports?!

I'm a big Okami fan and I watch every major American sport except for baseball, homie.

A sports team analogy here is ridiculous. It's an individual sport. Do you see the PGA revoking tour cards because guys barely squeeze out wins? Not enough Phil-esque bunker trick shots? Not enough Rickie Fowler-esque pop in their collar?

 

[Ghost in the Shell]

Damn some of the just bleed guys are getting out of hand here...

 

[BORCAT]

It's Okami, it's not like it was a top tier guy.

Joke? Okami is the definition of a top tier guy.

 

[brownfeet]

this cut makes no sense..1 loss to jacare when he was on a streak. go home ufc you're drunk

 

[MMABr]

disgraceful move by the UFC. I'm in shock actually, makes ZERO sense!!!

Mediocre guy with less then appealing fight style.

LOL @ people having a cry cause he got cut.

 

[hugoooo]

I'm sad for Okami... but I like that UFC is getting rid of boring wrestlers.

Their goal should be: FINISHING fights, not winning fights by any fucking boring method.

Nice gimmick.
