UFC Cuts: The Band Aid Edition

According to fiveouncesofpain:

FiveOuncesOfPain.com was able to confirm that welterweight Josh Burkman, a veteran from the second season of the UFC’s hit reality television show The Ultimate Fighter had departed the promotion in the weeks proceeding his unanimous decision loss to Pete Sell at UFC 90 last October.

Five Ounces of Pain has also confirmed that middleweight Jason “Dooms” Day is no longer a member of the UFC roster. It is unclear whether Day was released following his first round TKO loss to Kendall Grove last month at UFC 96 or if he had become a free agent with no attempt made to re-sign him.

I already knew that Burkman has been cut from the roster.  I just could never remember where I heard it.  I think I heard it on one edition of "Inside MMA".  Anyways, no surprise that Jason Day is gone after getting obliterated twice in a row.  I wonder what the UFC will do with the following fighters:

  • Ryo Chonan-This guy is a decision machine and has lost two in a row while going 1-3 inside the promotion.
  • David Loiseau-I wonder if they'll bring him back after losing his UFC re-debut to Ed Herman?
  • Matt Wiman-He's dropped two in a row...two good fights..but still...he's lost two in a row.
  • Pete Sell-Always brings it...but is 1-4 inside the promotion since 2006.

Did I miss anyone?

I think after his performance, they’ll keep Wiman, at least I hope…throw in Wanderlei Silva (lol..j/k)

Brian Stann would be more appropriate :)

We’ve discussed this one before, Rafael Dos Anjos’ UFC tenure might come to an abrupt halt. But he has looked good and he’s relatively young.

Bloody hell.

what about...

Jason MacDonald? He cosistently wins one, then loses one. I actually don’t have anything against him, but he should have a question mark next to his name too…

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

MacDonald's a nice gatekeeper.

He’s always 100%, pulls off shock wins, and if you can’t beat him, you’ve been found out as a non-contender.

Side benefit: He’ll fight for government cheese.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

Some fighters are market specific – Marcus Davies for example is not really a serious contender and will never be but will still be given fights on the UK/Ireland cards.

Bloody hell.
