It's good news for Bellator for sure. Crazy. I really think that Fitch is the 2nd greatest WW of all time. He'd be GSP status if it wasn't for GSP. It seems his prime is past though. He might've said or did something behind the scenes that rubbed the management the wrong way. Like Todd Duffee.

Fitch can feast in Bellator if he doesn't let this break his spirit. He didn't deserve the axe but Dana's been at his neck since the UFC game likeness shyt






-P-

Hasnt he had it out for him since that card with Penn? I'm not sure but I think that's the one he compares with the card with Tito and Vladmir as worse of all time

It started with the video game situation. Dana fired him for not wanting to sign away his likeness and making it known.

The Penn fight certainly didn't help matters.

I'm surprised about Fitch. The rest deserve to be cut and i'm not surprised. They've all been losing and unexciting lately.

Fitch could just be a money issue. It is a business and there's only so many guys that hang around. They're going to do the same thing to the Robbie Lawler's of the company in the next few months if they lose imo.

I do hate how it's done. It's been known for years that a lot of these guys don't even get calls and find out they've been cut through press releases. I think that's foul.

Plan is for 33 cards this year. You have 24 guys on a card. That's 792 spots. Three fights/year per fighter is 264 roster slots.

Surprised at some of names but not number of guys released by UFC. Was told they need to trim about 100 guys right now.

UFC has over extended themselves and it's going to give other promotions a shot to add some great fighters which in the end I think will benefit the fans.

All the speculation is these guys will go to Bellator but don't discount the WSOF, it could be a better option for guys who don't want to commit to the tournament format.

The Jon Fitch cut I think was a bit more sinister than the rest. They finally got some depth in that division and I don't think they wan't Fitch to derail anymore up and comers and make them lose value like he did Silva.

Based on what I've heard, Joe Silva made most of these cuts, not Dana.

:rudy: when the biggest name on the list is a perennial lay and prayer i think that says it all.
Half the listed fighters should've been given one more chance.
To do what? look at the names on that list, who the fuk is che mills other than the sacrificial lamb they fed mcdonald.Volkmen, matshekyo, santiago and heiron were all journeymen that shouldnt have been any higher on a card than prelims.The rest of the names are the kind of fighters u see on international cards = easily replaceable..Most these cats have reached their ceiling, arent exciting and wont amount to anything.

Y'all will weep over shyt dripping outta of a camel's ass if u could
It's good news for Bellator for sure.
bad news for askren tho, i half heartily feel fitch has been sent as a sleeper agent to derail what little homegrown success bellator have managed to produce/sustain.But on the real tho its no big deal gsp isnt goin to retire anytime soon and fitch cant continue l&ping his way while killin contenders in the process. Somethin had to give

Do you honestly believe silva has the power to make these decision without it going through the head honchos? ufc have a disposable list and then silva does their bidding no two was about it ..

Jon Fitch is 14-3-1 in the UFC, with wins over: Alves x 2, Paulo Thiago, Erick Silva, Mike Pierce, etc.

You'd have to be an idiot to believe he deserved to cut from the UFC.

I never said the cut fighters were THAT good. I just believe some of them [for example: Volkmann, Santiago, Sass, Etim, Mills, Hieron] deserved another chance. Especially when we still have Cody Mckenzie, Kyle Kingsbury, and Leonard Garcia employed.

Sucks for those fighters, I kinda liked matyushenko. One time in my UFC undisputed 3 career mode I was hoping for an epic title fight with Jon Jones but by the time I got there I ended up fighting Matyushenko for the belt :heh: Since than I always was hoping for that 'cinderella man' title run :skip:

On a UFC 157 note, since I'm close to anaheim I checked ticketmaster..........there's a shytload of tickets left. :smugfavre:
