Thanks Sam. 50 fighters, that’s alot wow! With the amount of guys they have though I guess they can probably afford to do that without much of a problem. I just didn’t remember anyone ever reporting that a bunch of guys getting released.

Jeremy, it was a couple of months guy. A lot of the guys were even being used. According to the fighters I spoke with, over 50 fighters on the Zuffa roster had their contracts accelerated. Guys like Scott Smith, Carmelo Marrero, Diego Saraiva, and a host of others.

Several months ago the promotion decided to cut many fighters that were under contract? When was this? And do we know who else?

I seriously don’t remember a period where a good number of guys in the UFC were suddenly released.

Wondered what happened to that guy. The fight with Pete Sell was one of my favorites of all time.
