UFC events won't be the same w/out Burt around.

And Calo's take, of course...

While Rousey did complain to uFc officials bout burt Watson calling her "baby" being sexist & chauvinistic, it WAS NOT cause of him leaving

Rumored for the past few days following an alleged incident this past weekend at UFC 184. An initial report came from Twitter user @FrontRowBrian. Then, on Monday’s edition of MMAjunkie Radio, John Morgan, MMAjunkie’s lead staff reporter and an on-site reporter at UFC 184 in Los Angeles, confirmed a backstage confrontation between Watson and a fellow UFC employee over a fighter’s weight cut.

Apparently it was Mark Munoz.....

Just so every1 knows I have utmost respect 4 @BurtWatson4real! He's a gr8 man & gr8 at what he does! Not sure what every1 is talking about.

He had a good run. I liked seeing him on the embedded and vlogs dana would do.

UFC should get Nick the Tooth to replace him.

Yeah, FRB started that rumor but Munoz has sort of shot it down. Not sure exactly what happened, but apparently he got into it with someone from the UFC and said fuck this.

Nick the Tooth?

Why? There's nothing about him that says competence for that type of job. I can see Nick easily saying Fuck it and letting a fire burn out instead of putting it out.

Good interview with Burt

If they dont put Burt in the UFC Hall of Fame, my jimmies will be rustled.

 

[BenAskrensStrikingcoach]

^One the few non fighters that should be there. Shame he is gone, guy was a legend, just seems like a great person.

Sad to see ole Burt go out like he did, but I'm sure he ruffled the inner circles feathers and it was time for him to go. Dana will bring in someone he knows to take the spot. Wouldn't be surprised to find ole Burt in bellator soon.

Fuck....damn shame...his voice and presence could light up a whole room with nothing but positive vibes....and that shits infectious! UFC have lost one of the good ones...

 

[Jonny Quest]

[Fiend]

Ol Burt will be missed RIP

 

[Morpheushasleftthebuilding]

to me, he was the soul of the UFC! which fuckface was the other ufc employ??
Dana better call Burt fast, and make things right.

what a shitty thing for zuffa to do to let burt go.they should be begging for him to stay.even if he isnt happy they should be bending over backwards to fix whatever he is unhappy about.guaranteed they will regret it in the long run when they have to replace him with a team of people and the job still never gets done the same

BLAF and Lorenzo don't seem like one's to beg. They seem more like the "you don't like it here? Good luck" kinda guys.

 

[Bluesville]

Knowing Zuffa ol' Bertie boy will have a 30 year non compete clause in his contract.

FrontRowBrian® ‏@FrontRowBrian 7m7 minutes ago UPDATE regarding @BurtWatson4real. Burt got into an argument with a member of Ronda's entourage.

When Dana was made aware of argument between Burt &the member of Ronda's entourage, Dana sided with Team Rousey. Burt was insulted and quit

FrontRowBrian® ‏@FrontRowBrian 59s59 seconds ago
I was told by 1 source that Ronda is the only 1 they'd cross Burt for. Burt took a lot of pride in what he did &didn't like to be questioned

^^^ Fucking unbelievably sad if true. Anyone care to guess which one of Rousey's entourage it was?

if rousey changes camp or retire, than what?, you have one of the best UFC's employee and let it slide.

 

[teamquestnorth]

man that's rough if true. Burt seems like solid dude. What could they even argue about? glove size or walk out outfit or something?
