UFC is trimming the fat....protecting their bank accounts....wonder if they're losing money or at risk too?
I just read that on mmamania. Big mistake, canning Fitch. I wonder who the "and others" are.

I just read that as well, and it pisses me off. I wasnt a Fitch fan, but hes a damn good fighter.
Mmaweekly radio just passed along a rumor that Koscheck may also have bitten the dust.
Not that that would break a lot of hearts.
That cant be true, he is has a fight taking place in December...Cant it?
Like I said, just a rumor.
From the same place, rumors that Cain Velasquez will also be canned after his upcoming fight, for the same reason.
Thinking twice... you don't suppose this had anything to do with Werdum also, do you?
Bull ...I will not allow Cain Velasquez to be canned. I will pe ion Dana White myself!!!!! That just ruined my night!
I see six guests eavesdropping.
HEY!! ANY OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING, GIVE US A HAND HERE, HUH?
lol
If this is all true then I am convinced the UFC has or is putting off potential money problems.
If the UFC cuts Cain or KOS they are effing re ed and they give away some serious blue chips.
I swear Im so close to crying right now. You are damn crazy to cut Cain. Dana White I will f*ck you up.
Give this a week or so to pan out....90% of the time these crazy rumors are BS
That is ing disgusting, The UFC is at the point where they are cutting top notch fighters for not signing away their likeness, this is just pathetic. I really think the UFC needs major compe ion at some point. They will keep raping some of these guys blind until they get someone to threaten them. I mean cutting Fitch, give me a break UFC...
Then Trim, a ton of low end guys, you don't can one of the best 170 pd fighers in the world. And He only made like 50 grand before bonuses on his last fight anyway.. This is just disgusting...
compe ion...it will never happen. It's way too late.
I'm not sure who had the best chance but its long gone. There will never be compe ion. Ever. They would have have to get their foot in the door in 05.
and I am betting more details will come out about this...just wait and see.
How often do we see rumors that are so different than reality with mma? mma news is pathetic at best.
Fedor alone has signed with the ufc 10 times....![]()
But just for the record....if this is true...
its the biggest pile of BS I have ever heard from the UFC...While the full details are a little murky at this time, Fitch was apparently approached about the issue when he turned in his signed bout agreement to fight Akihiro Gono at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ on January 31. And when he and his representatives attempted to negotiate the video game deal it was all or nothing.
He didn’t sign it and was terminated shortly therefafter.
All i can say is if the end result is Fitch getting cut, it is just pathetic.. What could have happened that was so bad, they just handed him his walking papers? He's a top 5 170 pd fighter.. GSP or BJ Penn could tell the UFC "I'm not not signing and you can kiss my ass" and they aren't getting cut.. As time goes on, the UFC just to me seems to only treat Superstars with any respect...
Not that its justified...but what sport or walk of life is not like that when there is money to be had? Its just the way it is and it sucks.
And if true, it illustrates how horrible it is to an extent that the UFC has no compe on. This at ude stinks of "We are the only game in town you can make a conistant pay-day so you'll come crawling back and when you do, we'll low-ball the out of you, so just sign the deal and shut-up"..
