^^^Damn, that makes no sense why they would let him go. He is a young, talented prospect that is coming off a big loss against Edgar (I fight he shouldn't have been in ) and they want to match him up with an experienced former title contender in Lamas or a rising prospect in Zabit

They easily could have matched him up with someone easier to help get his steam back Bellator should definitely try to sign him.

I don’t disagree but Lamas was a reasonable fight if he didn’t want Zabit

I think Dana wanted to make an example out of him more than anything else. But my guess is he’ll be back in UFC by the time he’s 29

This streaming deal is only for 15 events, it's expected the UFC will also have a television deal as well. Whether they resign with FOX or go with another outlet, we don't know yet. At least that was what ive



Here's a good article talking about the situation
5 burning questions to emerge from new UFC-ESPN deal

It's expected that UFC will still have a television deal as well, whether they resign with FOX or go to another channel. As to how many cards that will be, who knows.

The point remains that the UFC is making it harder to watch/get into their product, not easier.

What’s the time frame for the 15 events? Two years? Three years?

Well, Bellator will not hesitate to match him up with someone easier and he'll get to fight once a year there

So you're going to let a 25 year old prospect that can one day be a star go but you leave Artem "14-14" Lobov on the roster?

That Yair cut is dumb... I just hope this isn’t a mental thing... that loss was demoralizing in a way... but he’s talented enough to bounce back... not sure why UFC cut a young talented international prospect...

It’s a message

Start accepting fights they give to you

I think they tried to strong arm yair by announcing thetfight before it was actually offcial and when he refused that's when Dana released dude
