Maybe theyll let Hallman go back on the roids to try and salvage his career. Or maybe there bringing him to Give Hughes one more crack at beating him.

Also as I think Sergio said he would half to get acclamated to a new weight against the best guys in the world so releasing him is obviously a better idea for him there. I do understand where your coming from, but i also dont think Mcrory would be Sadollah i would put my money on Amir knocking him out.

He may not have much experience but he profoundly more recognizable than Barncat. He has been pushed by the promotion and in his last loss was prematurely stopped." No I honestly didn't think they'd cut Sadollah and probably won't after another loss. I was just using him as an example because they're both coming off a loss in the same weight class on the same event and McCrory is younger, more talented, and would beat Amir 9 out of 10 times and one's staying on and the other is out looking for work. Hopefully not for long. Plus they cut McCrory (who wants to move up to 185), and in turn bring back a guy like Dennis Hallman to fight at 185. edub “Cmon Mulisha did u really think they would cut Sadollah.

Hes not that recognizable. Hes lost everytime he goes up against a higher level opponent (although he was competitive in all his losses). And he is moving to MW. Let him get a few fights under his belt at a higher weight class then ring him back(if he doesnt sign with strikeforce that is). Cmon Mulisha did u really think they would cut Sadollah.

Almeida/Grove is shit? And Shane NELSON/Aaron Riley was on the main card because they ran out of prelim time, for the record. Also, four of Fitch's five fights leading up to his main event bout against GSP were on the main card. Three of Okami's last five fights have been on the main card including one that he headlined. “cos i have to watch shit like Almeida/Grove”

Fitch is the best example, an awesome fighter who, if he hadnt fought GSP, most people wouldnt know who he was. yet some shitters from TUF are household names, put on shit performances and get to keep their jobs.

It's not wrong, either. It's just business. Like I alluded to before, I really don't think either fighter is ready for the UFC right now. Hell, Amir walked into TUF with zero pro fights. I can, however, understand keeping a former TUF winner on the roster as opposed to a very young fighter who stands to earn a lot by fighting a few more fights in regional shows. McCrory is a good, solid fighter. His fight against Hazelett was one of my favorites from last year. But the UFC can't afford to keep every .500 fighter just because they have a lot of potential.
