I only hope that he gets back in the game as soon as possible. He's an awesome person and very down to earth. Shawn, failing a test or under performing at work is not the same kind of work as being UFC fighter. I'm sure you don't even know what it's like to be a fighter. So instead of saying that he deserves this or it should be expected. You should hope for the best for these talented people and not be judgemental. Anyway, I hope for the BEST for JASON! You Rock and I can't wait to see your next fight and I hope that happens soon! Jason is a great fighter and it sucks that his contract was dropped.

He lost a lot of weight and will need to get some good fights in the minors. He has had some good fights in the UFC so he will be a nice draw for a smaller card. Good Luck Lambert Lambert will be back in a year or 2. He lost a lot of weight and will need to get some good fights in the minors. He has had some good fights in the UFC so he will be a nice draw for a smaller card.
Good Luck Lambert

What credible news source has said that they wanted to reduce Werdum's salary?? I'll I've seen on the subject is the typical internet chatter on message boards. For all we know, Werdum's management could have been asking for a raise in pay and like the AA situation the UFC wasn't willing to give him more to fight. So please correct me if I'm Wrong Sam Caplan and point me to a source that says the opposite. “In recent days, news has broken that the company attempted to reduce Fabricio Werdum’s salary and when he did not accept their new offer, a decision was made not to make a counter offer.”

I thought Jason was going to do some big things after that Babalu win, coupled with his prior success. Losing three in a row is not a good way to keep your job. Give it a few hours before people start coming on the internet bashing the UFC for cutting fighters in the middle of a contract of sorts. This is without merit because if I were to show up to work and consistently under-perform, I would get fired. If I show up to school and fail multiple tests in a row, I am going to fail the course and get put on academic probation. If I show up to my girlfriends house all the time stinking like booze, strippers, and white castle, she might let me get away with it once or twice but after a few times too many, I'd get dropped.

You lose three in a row in the UFC, and your not a big name of some sort, and you are in trouble. He should be able to get plenty of opportunities outside the UFC though on smaller shows like PFC, MFC and maybe over in Japan. He's a good fighter and can test any up-and-comer or veteran fighter.
