Mick Maynard has been hired by the UFC as its new vice president of talent relations and matchmaker.

After weeks of rumblings, it’s official: the UFC has hired Mick Maynard as its new matchmaker, following the news of Joe Silva’s departure.

UFC officials confirmed the hiring Tuesday afternoon, following an initial report from FloSports’ Jeremy Botter.

Maynard will be the UFC Vice President of Talent Relations, Sean Shelby’s old role. Shelby has been promoted to Silva’s position of Senior Vice President of Talent Relations, as Silva is retiring at the end of 2016.

Together, the two matchmakers will organize UFC bouts, develop athletes on the roster and scout potential talent, according to a press release.

"I'm excited to have Mick on board working alongside Sean,” UFC president…

Someone should ask him who decided Gus and Lil Nog, and what he thinks about it.

Who is this guy?

Who is this guy?

He ran Legacy, which is now merging with RFA to form LFA under Ed Soares, while Mick takes over as UFC matchmaker. It should be interesting because Ed Soares is talking about upping the shows to 30 a year, and if they do that, plus have a direct line to a UFC matchmaker, then a lot of guys are going to come through that organization.

Fuck him! They should have hired me after I sent them a 38 page dissertation on the positive effects of Leben v. Phil Brooks. Fucking cock jockeys.

And best wishes to Joe Silva. Hope he gets my sloppy seconds on Smurfette.

Appointing a company man to that position will only make it more a company company

that's typically how a company works. It's not a bad thing. It's why chuck and hughes will always have jobs.
