Listen, the UFC are in the fight selling business and have the right to employ who ever they want.

There are many fighters who are better than him who aren't in the UFC and no one cares.

The guy doesn't sell fights even when he's winning so why should they keep him in the longest division on their roster?

What does fair have anything to do with it?

When you own a business you also own the right to employ who ever you want.

Fighters with longer losing streaks that are still employed are there because they serve a different purpose (usually foreign markets but sometimes just because the boss likes them, what's so bad about that?)

You guys are talking as if the UFC is a public office and as if there are set rules as to who "deserves" to work there or not. 

Practically all of you said it, "I don't like the guy but bla bla bla", so why would an owner of a fight promotion employ a fighter no one wants to watch if they've got so many others that people do like to watch???

I think the UFC is making room for the SF fighters by getting rid the ones that are relatively the same.
