No where, not once in your article did you say he was released from his contract because he requested it or otherwise. People are left to infer that he was cut because of poor performance which is inaccurate and dishonest.

“that constitutes being on the “chopping block.””

Blah, blah, blah.. more semantics. Chopping block /= asking for a release. Plain and simple. Argue that all you want but they are entirely different. Whether Franca asked for a release or not is not relevant to you saying he is on some “chopping block”. A chopping block infers that you’ve done something negative to get on it. Asking for a release means you have other interests you want to pursue.

“an organization that rarely grants such request”

Here you’re making up your own facts again. For every Couture you can name I can name 5 fighters that have asked for and have been granted a release. Please list every fighter that has asked for a release and has been denied because I’d love to see them all.

Lets play a little hypothetical game just for fun. Sam Caplan is under contract to EliteXC. He gets a better job offer from some other company. He talks to EliteXC and asks to be let out of his contract to take this new job. EliteXC says we understand your desire to work for someone else and make some more money so yes you can leave. Random media blogger posts on his website that Sam Caplan had been on the chopping block and infers that he was let out of his contract because of poor performance. Is he right?? Of course not. Saying so is just poor journalism and shows that random blogger is lazy and didn’t check his facts.

LOL… that’s not even a direct quote, yet you chose to put the statement in quotation marks without any notation that you edited the quote. The only dishonest liar here is you. You sir are in no position to lecture anyone on journalism. What else would you like to take out of context in order to order to support your pre-existing bias? You fail… MASSIVELY.

Yes or no, was Hermes Franca released? It’s a simple yes or no.

That’s not a yes or no question. That’s a bold face lie. Throw out all the red herrings you want but that doesn’t change the fact that what I quoted is false, dishonest and poor journalism. Keep arguing semantics and I’ll keep arguing facts.

So let’s see… he asked for his release… well, I’m sure Randy Couture would love to be released from his contract. Has that happened yet? If the UFC was completely happy with Franca, they would have denied his request. As I said before, the fact that they were willing to grant it speaks volumes, but you choose to selectively ignore that fact. Which is fine.

Keep making incorrect corrections.

I’m sorry but how is saying Hermes Franca was put on a chopping block not considered incorrect?? The FACT is it never happened, he is and will be welcomed back into the UFC when his suspension expires. Passing it off as saying he asked for a release and was granted one being the same thing is a joke. Asking for a release /= cut for poor performance. I mean this article is about fighters being cut for poor performances, right?? Lumping him into that category is dishonest and a disservice to Hermes Franca.

Yes, we should all just bury our heads in the sand and not speak up when people write things that are incorrect. I mean it’s written on the internet so it must be true, right?? Seriously dude, have fun frolicking with the rest of your flock.
