He's important for those asian markets though, especially since he's the most successful one. They're trying to grow asian mma more than ever now with TUF china and a few new korean guys. Pretty weird cut..

lol it's not about kissing ass, it's about draws. I figured Okami would draw a lot from Japan, but there's a lot of work done behind the scenes to see what these guys draw. Yushin has less followers on twitter then me (I don't have a lot of followers), and maybe the brass figured he's not puling his weight in comparison to some others.
Shitty cause I liked him, but Bellator or another org. should swoop him up pretty quick.

UFC once again shows that it's just a business and not a sport.
3-1 in his last 4 fights and he costs $40.000/ fight which is a small fee compared to fighters with similar performance.

I scared of getting banned for speaking my mind on this but Konster's first post summed up my thoughts nicely.

Well, they're a promotional company. This is what can happen when the promotional brand is bigger than the fighters.

How so? How many guys have been in the UFC for 7 years despite not having a fan base?

I say that every time. I enjoy watching high level, competitive mixed martial arts fights and his fight with Lombard was the only reason I tuned into the Silva/Stann card

Are you fucking kidding me right now?
This is absolutely worse than cutting Fitch. Unlike Fitch Okami actually fought and beat more ranked opponents than Fitch can ever dream of. On top of that he never bitched about how much he was getting paid or had any feud with that tubby bald fuck.

most of the comments didn't say that they are Okami fans, they're just talking about that stupid cut

I actually thought Okami was going to be one of the more interesting Weidman future opponents and contenders if Weidman beats Anderson in the rematch.
his tdd and striking seems to be a good stylistic challenge to Chris. Of course CHris might Boetsch him at the last minute but I think Okami would likely be winning the fight up until he got finished.
Maybe that was the UFC fear. Okami as champ would not be a big seller and maybe they feared the possibility.

he made 42k/42k at UFC 155.
Not sure where you got 85-125 from? Unless it was a backloaded contract
