Jared Rosholt's UFC run has come to an end.

Rosholt, nicknamed "The Big Show," was recently released by the organization, a UFC official confirmed with MMAFighting.com following some online speculation. The decision comes after the 14-3 heavyweight fighter lost a unanimous decision to Roy Nelson in February.

Seeing a lot of people getting angry about this one because Rosholt is 6-2 in the UFC

Sucks for him, but can't blame the UFC for cutting him: he just doesn't bring excitement and he showed in the Nelson fight that he doesn't have what it takes to be a serious title contender.

It isn't only that he wins by decision, it is the way he does it. He has gassed in the second round of every fight that I can remember him in.

HW is ultra thin, so cutting a gatekeeper is somewhat of a head scratcher. But the guy just isn't exciting, so I get it.

of course that goes without saying. akiyama has a lot of decisions but every fight he's in is fight of the year

I just meant its not just that hes wrestling, it is that he is doing it completely gassed. Fitch could go a full three rounds atleast.

They need Jones at hw (and every weight tbh! to shake that shit up, but unfortunately you can't have Jones yo yo dieting, it would kill his desire to fight

So I would presume that this is the end for the mighty 'team takedown'. After Hendricks leaving a few months ago. Rosholt is the only fighter listed on their website.. Can't see them paying him a wage while he makes his way through some regional fights. Can't day I'll miss him tho.. He just doesn't do enough during any giving fight to interest me
