Yancy Medeiros cut from the UFC

[KazDibiase]

UFC officials confirmed the news to MMA fighting on Tuesday.

A frequent bonus winner throughout his UFC career, Medeiros faced a long list of tough opponents during his tenure with the promotion that dated back to his debut in 2013 after previously competing in Strikeforce.

During his time with the UFC, Medeiros clashed with the likes of Dustin Poirier, John Makdessi, Alex Oliveira, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Erick Silva. He earned a total of five post-fight bonuses including three for Performance of the Night and two for Fight of the Night.

Unfortunately, Medeiros had fallen on hard times lately after dropping his past four fights in a row, which led to his exit from the UFC.

And Jessica Eye is still with the promotion

Entertaining fighter but sloppy and undisciplined.


Odd because he trains alongside Max.

And Jessica Eye is still with the promotion

So is Eddie Wineland

Yeah…. that’ll happen.

WAR JESSICA EYE (and also all four 2-0 fighters who get signed off DWTNCS each week)

 

[Reach4theSky]

Maybe Bellator?

So is Eddie Wineland

Gotta keep him to make Omalley look good

 

[EndlessCritic]

He gave us quite a few wars. An underappreciated guy for sure.

O’Malley vs Wineland 2. Book it. Winner gets Scott Jorgensen

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Sucks. He was a scrapper, brah.

 

[Guffman]

Was always a good lower level gatekeeper. If you couldn't beat Yancy, you probably were not moving up the career ladder. Not trying to put the guy down- was a solid, if flawed fighter and always brought some good action. Not to trot out the "he's going to Bellator" bit, but I think there would be good fights for him there.

 

[GueseGuy]

Another SF OG

 

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

I think he could experience a career resurgence if he moves back up to heavyweight.

 

[Gamer007]

Hope he saved some of that cash.

I think he could experience a career resurgence if he moves back up to heavyweight.

that AV is distracting bro

 

[Herwald]

Yanci vs Alex Oliveira is one of the most fun UFC fights of all time. May he find success in his future endeavors.

 

[dracul]

was a good scrapper... gave me difficulty in ea ufc 3

 

[Linelo]

That’s a shame. He’s delivered in a lot of wars and always took matchups that came his way.

…and he killed a guy.

 

[Jawth]

He is 33, young enough he could be able to have a good run somewhere else amd maybe even come back.

He hasnt won since 2017 and the last two guys who beat him were on losing streaks, its a fair cut. ONE or Bellator could have some fun fights for him.

 

[El Fernas]

And Jessica Eye is still with the promotion

I guess is not about quality anymore, its about Quota which she helps them fill, he isnt exactly at the top but at least has fun fights.
