Is that a joke? He's the UFC's Glass Joe. The last time he fought was two years ago and it was a loss. Here's to hoping this was only because UFC 110 is in Australia. Elvis Sinosic is back?

He was giving Kendall Grove all he could handle until he slipped up for one second and Grove was able to capitalize on the opening with a super-slick submission. Kinda reminded me of the first Lesnar-Mir fight. I mean it's not like Rosholt went out and got dominated or embarassed or anything like that...he just got caught. It happens. And I don't agree with cutting him loose for it. I still can’t believe the UFC cut Jake.

Zuffa should have used WEC as a farm team for prospects in those classes who need more experience before appearing in the UFC. Rosholt has tons of potential that could be developed in five or six fights. Situations like this are why I thought it was a mistake to eliminate the welter weights, middle weights, etc. in WEC.

It's much better for a guy like this to get cut and get 4-5 wins and some more experience under his belt then it is to go 2-6 in the UFC and never be heard from again.

They're bringing back Elvis for the first UFC in Australia and they know that everyone wants to see the hometown kid perform. Baroni is a little tougher for me to justify. The only thing I can think is that he's from New York and they're trying desperately to get MMA sanctioned in New York, so the more fans from NY they have, the better their shot.

I get what they are trying to do but they are failing at it. Sure guys like Baroni put on great shows but they definitely are not the best fighters out there and that is what the UFC takes pride in. Now, I don't think all of the best fighters are in the UFC, but Dana White sure does, and that's why I'm really shocked at recent events. Baroni at 13-11, Elvis at god knows what... but you cut young up and comers like Tamdan McCrory and Rosholt. The UFC has been making some strange decisions lately.

I can't believe the UFC cut Rosholt! Unreal. Yeah, he lost...so what! He is a promising young talent. The UFC needs to stick with these younger guys and nurture them along the way thus building their confidence and making them into great fighters (see handling of TUF fighters)...noy cut them first time they lose two fights. Not to mention this gives Strikeforce the option to pick him up. I mean if I'm Scott Coker, then I'm on the phones right now trying to get this guy. First post.

He's a good fighter with a decent record, but in the UFC he's only 1-2. I'm hoping this is a motivating factor for Rosholt to get in the gym and work even harder to either make it back to the UFC or to get picked up by some other big name promotion.
