I can't say I'm shocked. He looked good early against both Silva and Franklin but considering he couldn't make weight for a life changing title shot and then in his next fight only had the cardio to go one round he pretty much made himself expendable. I know the middleweight division is considered thin, but I think it is on the rise with some new contenders emerging and there isn't room for someone with a three minute gas tank.
Lutter could be an interesting pickup for EXC as he has some name recognition. I'd look to bring him in for an immediate title shot just to bolster Lawler's (or Smith's) profile. I wouldn't risk bringing him in and having him lose to someone lower on the food chain. Bring him in, give him the title shot and go from there. It isn't so far removed that you can't play up how close he was to finishing Silva.

Re: Travis Lutter Cut By UFC
"So I was kicking it at Pure down in Vegas with these twins, trying to duck Lohan and the Hiltons who have been hounding me for the hook-up, and Travis Lutter just won't stop calling me! Finally I check my voice mail and he says he's been cut by the UFC. If I hadn't had a prior engagement to count my millions while nailing supermodels, I totally would have called him back."

That's some piss poor sentence structure, but I'm tired and I think it's close enough to making my point.
