UFC cuts Fitch, Wellisch, Kos & Cain Velasquez expected

El_Matador — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:34:58 GMT

Now I normally have always defended the UFC but to cut these fighters due to them not signing a contract that gives the UFC full control over their images is such BS that I don't think I've ever seen before.

Summoner10 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:28:13 GMT

Time out for mouth piece

ArtardFiesta — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:25:01 GMT

I give Jamie Varner a lot of credit, he looked impressive in the fight bringing it to rob & winning a majority of the stand up battle.

Whats your guys thoughts on the time out when he was rocked? If he didn't do that the fight would have been over, yea its a good idea calling it but should the ref have allowed it? Let the guy call a time out to grab his mouth piece while he is rocked & give him time to recover.

BTW The ko by Scott Smith is still one of my favorites ever. I don't love it for either of the fighters because it could've been anyone in there & I would've been in awe. That was something that just happened perfectly, & if anything was a second off we would've never seen it.
