they should cut everyone they havent given a fight to in a year or more

 

[La Paix]

Never happy to see guys get cut but they should do another 100.

I am going to miss seeing these guys get knocked out

Dam the new bosses are brutal. 13 cute. Expect a ton more lay offs and roster cuts. Sucks to see the barn cat go like that.

Bigfoot has one more cash out in fedor

Yeah, I last remembered Tamdan McCrory beating Josh Samman, didn't realize he had been KOed twice since then.

Hopefully they are freeing up space for women's 125 and 105. It's all about marketability, ya goofs.

I understand Tamdan has fans from TUF, but I have had a number of conversations with him and I can't cheer for him as a result.

That's just my own personal experiences. He was not a good guy.

He might be a good guy to everyone else, but sometimes I like to think karma plays a role. As childish as that is....

Barncat the only one on the list I'll definitely miss. Just. Dunno why.

Good for us viewers. Hope those guys get fights and keep getting paid. And sponsored.

Probably because he has the best fight name

I don't find any of them cute, but that's just me.

I think Bigfoot has several good fights left in him. He will go to Bellator, get back on his vitamins, and start destroying people.

I'm glad he got cut. Talked shit about Bellator went to UFC got cut. I hope Bellator doesn't take him back. I hate when these guys talk shit about Bellator and think everything is all good because the UFC picked them up. Well ya ain't so smart now huh.

Cody East was bad for the ufc image

Tamten thinks he's special and has no social skills. He gets a pass on this and in general gets by in life by being tall and intimidating people outside the fighting world. That's how he got through school, he made "friends" with the academically talented and then just plagiarized their stuff. They didn't protest cause he's good at making pizza and used to get them good deals on electronics from his uncle, I'm making all this up but have heard the guy's a jerk...oh well :/

 

[Yossarian]

The UFC was getting bloated, this is a good thing. It was also good to let Big Foot go, his health issues, and his losses, time to go.

He'll make good money in OneFC.

Tamdan has always been approachable & nice in my interactions with him.

 

[AZPlayboy]

The new owners are making a lot of changes.... Will they continue to cut fighters? Will they bring in more freak show CM Punk bullshit? I wonder how this is all going to play out in the long run. Guys like GSP under ancient contracts give them an honest deal or let them go I don't like the slavery shit and the sponsor bullshit fighters gotta eat well not just the fuckin suits!

Or maybe Rizin, I am sure there is a market for big foot. Maybe in those markets he can go back to using trt or roids.

Yeah, the more I think about it, how are you going to hold anyone to a contract where the original benefits are restricted........

Ya I was kinda surprised when he went off on bellator on the q&a here..I think I had asked him smth and he just shat on B.

But who knows what happened..that was a different bellator too then, so I never held that against him

He was just one of those guys that if he didn't agree with you on something, he wouldn't even consider your point of view and he would be hostile towards it.

You couldn't explore the differences in opinion because he just wanted to tell you that you were wrong in a combative manner.

One thing you can do to get a taste of what I mean is check out his twitter and facebook. Particularly on his facebook, it's just non-stop arguments in the comments sections with him involved in most.

I dunno... Maybe he grew up in a household where there was a lot of constant arguing, but he's not someone that is easy to have real conversations with in my experience.

Wish him the best because he has kids to feed, but hopefully he can find some ways to let go of some of that hostility he brings to certain social interactions.

Edit: Just want to explain again that these comments are just based on my experiences with him. It's not like I'm his brother or closest friend. I just know how he was in our interactions.

It would actually be better for these guys if the UFC did that. As it stands, a lot of guys can't even get enough fights every year to make the brain damage worth it. The roster is simply too bloated.
