Edson Barboza wants to be released from UFC — ‘It’s time to move on’

[La Paix]

“I’m very thankful for these almost 10 years that I have been working for the company,” the striking sensation wrote on Twitter. “I gave my best every single fight to put on a show for the fans, but I think it’s time to move on. I don’t have more time to wait. Please let me go.”

Wonder where he's wanting to go?

I don't like the fact fighters can't end thier contracts. Yet the UFC can cut them whenever they feel like it

He's 34 now - no spring chicken when it comes to the lighter weights. Perhaps he wants to go somewhere "where the competition is a little easier" in the hope of prolonging his career with the lower risk of taking beatings.

Can't say I blame him tbh

he wants that million bucks from PFL

They have zero leverage with the ufc

Probably somewhere that he won't be obvious fodder for the next up and comer.

Maybe he got tired of that 10 points must, round by round system after his last fight and wants to test ONE's judging

 

[sparkuri]

He's still world class in my book; he's just not getting the matchups that put him in the win column. Seems to me his last fight shoulda gone his way.. maybe I'll give that a re-watch

Welp.... that didn’t last long. I wonder if her got whatever it was he was looking for or the UFC son’d him into place. Probably the later...

Yeh I wonder how many fights he has left.

I wonder if he’s gonna come in at like 152 in the hopes the UFC kicks him out
