I thought he might of been able to beg for one more fight at HW as that division isnt as stacked as LHW. Could of put him against Kongo or somebody like that but then I guess he wont be able to fight for a few months anyway due to his nose.

[brooks85]

HW division has been on hiatus, there was only 1 HW fight since velasquez/lesnar. They have 6 hw fights scheduled, over 7 events, through 129. Two of those is hunt/tuschscherer, mccorkle/morecraft. Kongo needs to get a fight scheduled and a few of the hw fighters need to get healthy.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

You'd think he'd sign with StrikeForce but if you look at it they are pretty selective in which UFC castoffs they sign. There have been many guys cut in the MW division who StrikeForce has not signed

Travis Lutter - title shot (sort of)
David Loiseau - title shot
Patrick Cote - title sot
Thales Leites - title shot
Denis Kang
Jason Macdonald
Drew Mcfedris
Tomasz Drwal
Ed Herman
Wilson Gouveia

off the top of my head

I just read yesterday bignog had to undergo another surgery for his hip so he is going to be out until late summer/fall. I was wondering where ben rothwell was but I forgot he had to have acl surgery back in jul so he wont be back until spring at best.

[Vaughany]

Ahh yeah I read tht as well Said he wanted Lesnar as well or something!

[Vaughany]

Looks like Marcus Davis has been released as well. I thought theyd give him one more shot at LW as he won both rounds until he got caught.

[urge2kill]

Vera, Davis, McKee and Baroni all cut following their losses.

[lasker]

McKee one and done, after all his talk about winning the UFC lightweight belt by the end of 2011.

[urge2kill]

Yet they bring back Tim Hague who lost his last 3 UFC fights.

Looks like Struve vs Browne is being set up for 130. I'll be all over Browne at -200 or better.

[Shane]

McKee one and done, after all his talk about winning the UFC lightweight belt by the end of 2011.

So much for being the Ali of MMA. You'd think people in this sport would know and respect it enough to not make such ridiculous statements.

[Vrakas]

its time for vera to retire.i doubt he has it in him to preform to mma levels.prehaps he can still train some fighters.

[Kaladarus]

I wonder why it took so long to make these cuts. Vera should have been cut before he made it back to his locker room.

[bracerman]

Vera, Davis, McKee and Baroni all cut following their losses.

I don't anyone is surprised by these cuts. I still can't believe Baroni the Jabroni ever got resigned by the UFC.
