Frank Trigg not cut from the UFC
MMAJUNKIE is reporting that Frank Trigg will get another fight in The UFC.
"Maybe it was a change of plans. Or a change of heart. Or simply a matter of the Ultimate Fighting Championship again listening to what the fans overwhelmingly wanted.
Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: Frank Trigg will get another UFC fight."
Personally, I thought it was very unfair for Trigg to immediately get cut after losing his return fight to a top 10 welterweight.
"They said I'll get one more shot, another fight, to prove I belong here," Trigg told MMAjunkie.com. "If I win, they've got to keep me around. If I lose and it's back-to-back losses, they'll probably drop me, rightfully so."
"No disrespect to Koscheck, but the fight only went a minute (and) 40 (seconds), and he only got in one good shot," Trigg said. "In my mind, nothing really happened. I got caught. We could fight again, and I think it would be an entirely different outcome."
Before Koscheck they offered him a fight against Johny Hendricks, but didn't accept.
"My understanding when I signed my deal – well, at first, they offered me a fight with Johny Hendricks," Trigg said. "But I didn't want that fight because I know Johny and used to train him. A couple weeks later, they offered me Josh Koscheck. They said, 'We gave Josh a couple options, and he chose you too."
Here's also an interesting quote:
"They basically said, 'If you lose, we have to keep you for one more fight since Josh is a top-five guy and it's such a tough fight," he said. "That's why I was so surprised that Dana said that I was being cut."
Can you blame the guy for being a bit surprised about possibly being cut right after the fight? Hopefully he takes an easier fight if he plans on staying and retiring in the UFC.
BTW, I suck at these... How can I put up a pic? I tried almost everything and it wouldn't show the pic.

Good to hear
I didnt really understand it to begin with.
If anything at least give him to a a couple of your up and comers like Anthony Johnson or Dan Hardy. That way he can either prove they are not as great as everyone thinks or if they win it is a huge victory.
You need guys like this to begin to put your young talent on the map. Same with Cro Cop or Heath Herring. They may never be champions again but they help build young talent.
I want to see Trigg versus someone he could actually beat. Matt Sera perhaps????
for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.
I think Serra would probably KO his ass out of the UFC.
