Very game fighter

But couldn’t string together wins in the ufc to save his life. I think he needs some time in a smaller show, maybe a better gym (can’t really call that one). Would not be surprised to see him in the big show again one day.

6 fighters from this card have been cut.

I still ordered the ppv, but this was an obviously weak card.

Sure, none of these guys might have been anything to write home about – but having as much as shows as UFC is having while canning guys left, right and center isn’t exactly going to help matters.

They’re also bringing in guys all the time. Look back through the last few weeks of posts on just BE, and you see constant announcements of prospects and guys who have done well against less-than-UFC-level competition being signed.

Yeah, just yesterday it was announced Cyrille “The Snake” Diabate was signed.

They constantly are letting guys go and bringing guys in. There is no shortage of fighters looking for a shot at the big time and they can’t keep everyone under contract.

nover and buchholz should be moved to the wec. especially since justin trains with faber.

this is bullshit. 6 out of 11 losers get cut?

Rolles should’ve been given a chance since it’s his first fight, and apparently it was an injury… Hague was “robbed” so he shouldn’t have been cut either..

Now Buchholz and Nover, should do well in the WEC I think. Hopefully if they sign with a different promotion, they’d get a chance to return after a few wins.

Rolles shouldnt have been in the UFC in the first place.

just cause you are a Gracie shouldnt mean you get second and third chances. especially 15,000 dollar chances when you look like complete shit.

If Beltran got beat he would have got cut more than likely and I doubt youd cry about that.

who's crying?

and no, Beltran probably wouldn’t have gotten cut.. It was on late notice, and most people making their UFC debuts get at least 2 chances to get a victory because of the usual octagon jitters they experience the first time…

Most people don’t look that terrible in their debut, either. He looked like one of the lesser guys on TUF 10- who didn’t get any shot at the UFC. And he picked up a cool 15k for that debacle, which isn’t bad.

He can go to strikeforce and fight Wes Sims. That would be a pretty evenly matched fight.
