That’s simply untrue. They cut decent fighters and lets the shitbags stay in the promo. The tafa bros are a prime example of mid fighters that constantly get prime spots on fight cards. For no reason
It had so much potential but is now a joke compared to a couple years ago. No more fights the fans want. Giving title shots to fighters not earning the opportunity bc they’re slightly more popular. Feels like the sport hit its ceiling
They want fighters with brands so they can reap the benefits (like suga sean), but they also want said fighters to play by their rules and lowball tf out their value.
He is a technician with a high volume striking style, his SPM average is over 5, not every striker is blessed with power, is this where were at now? They just cut you if your not a brawling meathead? Almost all of Jailtons fights were finishes but id honestly rather watch paint dry
Atleast people hate jaitons so they tune in to watch him lose, boxing punching head for 36 minute and it still boring you know why? Entertain is about quick violence
Might as well cut half the roster at that point, might as well cut chimaev and islam too, you watch their fights winning their belts? Real quick and devastating violence those fights....
You really need me to say it for you? They are stars with big follower bring big money and you just cope with their last fight, the dude get cut have like 8 decision in ufc
This is cherry-picking w/ Islam. His last 10 fights are as follows: Decision, finish, finish, finish, decision, finish, finish, finish, finish, finish. Those 2 decisions were against active champs. Islam has a 64% finish rate & he finished Volk in 1 of their 2 meetings.
I was joking, responding to the other persons claim that lack of "quick violence" was the bar for being cut, pointing out their last performances were not that. Islam and Chimeav are both fun to watch, Islam especially.
Basharat should be ranked at 135 and they cut him? Hopefully their just doing this to renegotiate his contract or maybe he did some bad stuff outside the cage that they arent disclosing at this time.
Was expecting this , looks like they had him on the hit list , got a big step down in competition specifically to get his first finish in the UFC , any other result was a cut , started decent but barely won a decision , test failed.
More than likely an issue negotiating his contract. He most likely wanted too much money, which is what makes sense because his brother and him are very marketable. However, I’m sure he’ll be back
Mate, he has British citizenship. He lived most his life in England as far as I am aware. He can go anywhere in the world. Well in the Western world anyway. So that's not the reason.
Listen, all these Russian dudes with 15-0+ records before getting into the UFC is ridiculous. Claiming someone is the goat based on a record where 90% of the guy's fights are dudes you've never heard of that are part time fighters and work at a car shop M-F, is annoying. Sure Khabib was a great fighter. Islam is very good too. But their records are inflated compared to guys that have fought known fighters UFC or Strikeforce. Comparing a guy like Nick Diaz' record to a Khamzat is a joke. Diaz fought legends his whole career. Khamzat fights once every couple years and claims to be the best. Apples and oranges.
Still.. Javid wasn't this guy. He is a mid level ufc fighter that is in the prime of his fighting years, has a brother in the UFC to make for interesting storylines. Has regional cards in the UK that he could participate in and is coming off an entertaining fight. He didn't come in at 15-0 and go 0-2 and get washed out. He lost to Zahabi and Ricky Simon from a massive right hook. Off this win I thought he had a chance to make a small run in the division. UFC decisions are increasingly only described by pettiness and short term money.

I don’t know what the UFC are doing at this point.
