UFC releases Yushin Okami

[extreme1]

He earns $42.000 per fight + win bonus if he wins which always doubles the amount.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Meanwhile Palhares and Vera (i believe) are still in the UFC.

 

[BearGrounds]

Lol wow, they got him out after one. Didn't even want to risk him winning his next; which he probably would have. They were definitely waiting on him to take an L.

 

[orangecuse]

his pay at UFC 155 was 42K/42K so no he was not making 85-125 to show.

That's way too much for a top-10 UFC fighter.

Let's get one more big fight out of him at our ridiculousy high ticket prices then cut his ass.

He'll be good enough for a UFC Co-main event one day then we'lll cut him the next.

 

[extreme1]

UFC is probably bleeding money...

 

[aker2703]

One of the worst UFC cuts ever.

Cheap pieces of shit, they only cut him because his salary is high after so many UFC wins. Cut fucking Bisping while you're at it.

If Bisping wasn't British they'd have cut him years ago. Real talk.

Rubbish. Bisping vs Vitor = 2 million people, Bisping vs Mayhem 2.4 million viewers. this is why he has not been cut, people watch him.

 

[Perrichet]

he layed on lombard good riddance

Lol

 

[Degen Gambler]

so when Bellator headlines a PPV with Okami are those of you that are mad going to buy it?

 

[sickgunho]

good riddance :icon_evil

 

[Killswitch91]

What the actual fuck?

 

[MMA since 1993]

Damn, he was on 3 fight winning streak, and he loses to Jacare who has one loss in his last 10 fights and he gets cut.

BS imo.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

what the fuck. I know he wasn't the most exiting, but the guy has some great wins and is atop 10 fighter.

Wins over Munoz, Belcher x2, Marquardt, Lombard.

 

[RoosterVerde]

what the ever loving FUCK???

 

[maksy]

Holy shit!!!!!! What a joke!!!!

 

[IRENICUS]

I agreed with the Fitch release but Okami's is weird

 

[Psychojoe86]

Wow that sucks! He was a beast at middleweight

 

[Gregolian]

I would understand this if guys like Mir, Palhares, and Vera were cut and stayed cut.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

I suppose it's something we don't know.

 

[Spoken]

Jesus. I can understand why Dana doesnt enjoy his style, but after one loss you cut him? That's brutal.

 

[Loiosh]

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.

The Fitch cut was a bigger deal, no question about it.
