UFC releases Yushin Okami

Voted don't care.

1) when is the last time the guy actually fought? Lnp does not count
2) it's only exciting when he gets his ass kicked
3) can not take a hit, at all
 
Eh.

Never thought he was nearly as good as his ranking(s). Thought the title shot was a silly waste of an Andy fight. And then Anderson took his soul.

Wish him the best though, obviously. Hope he gets paid well in another org.
 
Cutting Okami because there's no place for him on the roster is like saying you're not buying peanut butter because the pantry is loaded.
 
He's good and I do think him getting cut is a little unwarranted but he wont be missed. Okami was boooooooooooooooooooring.
 
First Jones somehow WINS the fight THEN DUCKS the Rematch now THIS?????

Try to play some GTA 5 for a week and shit just goes down.

Hopefully he goes on to Bellator, or WSOF then becomes champion to make his critics look stupid.
 
I doubt WSOF would even want Okami.

They do.

It's a good signing for business. Okami wins they can build a division of a former UFC fighter which will get them attention, or he loses which makes one of their guys into a bigger name. Either way the promotion gets more attention by having a ranked fighter.
 
Wow, they must be desperate.

Okami has as much appeal as going to the dentist.
 
This could be one of the worst cuts I've ever seen. He may be a gatekeeper, but he has been top 10 for years at MW. This is nonsense.
 
Kurt holobaugh was just as bad of a cut and nobody complained this much.
 
why do people act like fighters getting cut is a punishment for performance? Fighting is a business cuts are business moves, it doesnt matter if you win or lose if the UFC thinks they can make money off you they keep you, if they think they cant they release you, its pretty simple.
