He's so pissed, but look at the other free agents right now. The UFC is treating a lot of fighters this way, and they're not even talking to them to keep them thinking they should be happy anyway.

I think the new owners are really screwing up here, even if they somehow come out on top later. It's just uncool.

It's going to be a long transition phase for the new owners and the fighters. If there was ever a time to start a union...it's now.

He is def pissed and it seems rightfully so. He should go to bellator that could be huge for him. He is still a good name, could fight some good guys at LW and maybe get a title shot. If more people like this go to bellator you will see great fights and stacked divisions again. Don't forget the main thing we fight fans want, good fights, that's it. Names are also good don't get me wrong but Cole miller vs saad awad or even Derek Anderson appeals to me. It's not always about the Conor's and Jones type.

Always been a fan of Cole's. I was trying to find the interview where he spoke out against point fighters, and said that win or lose, he was always looking to finish the fight. I couldn't find it, and I'm ready to go to sleep, but I did come across this little tidbit from an interview he did when he was suppose to fight BJ, and it epitomizes the way I think fighters should think.

"Opportunities to compete against names like Penn’s are rare, and Miller said he knows it. He said he’s admired Penn over the course of his nearly 11-year career and thinks “The Prodigy” has set the perfect example of what every fighter should aspire to be.


“I was watching him fighting before I was into training or anything like that,” Miller said. “I can’t have nothing but respect for the guy and look up to him because he does everything I say you should be like. He’s got good boxing, good jiu-jitsu, he’s always trying to finish the fight. He’s not trying to be like a coward and just try to win the rounds. He’s always spoken out against these (performance-enhancing drug) users, calling them out to their faces. I think you can’t help but admire a guy like that.”
