Who has the story on Saul Rogers

[FireKidWS]

Just finished watching TUF: McGregor v Faber.

Realize it’s titanic news at the moment but what all happened with his visa?

Any chance UFC will pick him up currently?

Hes 1-2 in his last 3 fights and coming off a loss, usually they don't sign guys coming off of a loss.

He had a criminal record and didn't tell them as far a I can gather.

Anyone remember Tyler Manawaroa? Ya, me neither.

He made a racist comment on twitter or Facebook. Kind of a shame as I actually think he has potential.

He didn't make a comment, he reposted a racist joke/picture on Instagram when he was 17. He took it down and apologized, admitting it was in bad taste and the UFC basically told him they'd never sign him under a contract regardless. He was 19 on the show, beat Nordine Taleb and was 10-0 professionally, hes only 25 now and hasn't fought since.

I'm pretty fucking left of center politically myself but Manawaroa's situation was a depressing case of oversensitivity having an effect on society in a huge way.
