I'm all against cutting fighters too, but when you want to build the world's elite fighting promotion, there are standards to meet. I'm not talking about KK here but in general.
I mean, there are a lot of fighters in the UFC who are still competitive but cant handle young or elite talent but still put great fights, I think that just like in any other sport, such athletes should migrate to the minor leagues (Strikeforce) for one last run. Heck, some even could still hold belts at SF while in the UFC they're just sparring bots for the up and comers. This could also enrich the thinning SF roster and could even help increase ratings by bringing in beloved MMA veterans that we fans don't want to see get beat up by new generations of fighters.
I say instead of getting rid of the rampages, griffins, wanderleis, bonnars, soszynzkys, etc give them one last run at strikeforce where they can still be competitive and let us fans watch them a couple more years.

Same goes for Roy Nelson, Akiyama, Stephens, Gomi, Fisher and even Garcia (I can't believe I just said that).

If Charlie Brenneman's getting cut, then Kingsbury definitely should be getting cut. If Charlie Brenneman's getting cut, why the **** do Kingsbury and DaMarques around? If Charlie Brenneman's getting cut, why the **** does Amir Sadollah still have a job? If Charlie Brenneman's getting cut, why wasn't Dan Hardy ******* cut?

Kingsbury has fought two back to back "debuting" fighters who most hardcore fans knew were brutal. Try finding another well rounded Light Heavyweight who could have stood with Manuwa and Texiera for as long as he did. Brandon Vera would have gotten ****d, Vinny Magz caught a mad break by not fighting either of em and even Phil Davis would get thrashed by either of these dudes.
I honestly think he should be given one more shot but not a charity match by any means. Why not put Kingsbury against Igor Pokrojac or loser of Prado vs Davis?

Should at least get another fight versus Nick Penner or Roger Hollett.
