A lot of people get pissed and say, "Oh, that's shitty they cut him!" What they don't realize is they usually wind up bringing them back after a few wins elsewhere. Gives you a chance to go try to crush a few people and get back that confidence you lost. Then again, maybe it's good marketing? How many times have you heard "Former UFC Fighter" during an introduction on Strikeforce, or the now defunct EliteXC. I wouldn’t necissarily count these guys out.

That was disgraceful and unprofessional. Even MMA rookies are usually off by no more than 2 pounds when they mess up their weight cutting. He deserved to be cut.

I wouldn't be surprised to see any of these guys back in UFC as a short notice replacement after they get one or two wins outside UFC.

I am so ashamed of myself. not too upset to see franca gone. stupid reason to not like a fighter, but I just can’t stand the way he looks: half Down syndrome, half chimpanzee, with multi hued hair. same thing with Tim Sylvia.

If they cut guys for being out of shape and getting koed they why did they let it happen with Mir-Twice- Franca will be a great addition to Bellator or Strikeforce.
