Right decision, methinks.

Burrell has got potential, but he's got to be improving his skills every day if he wants to stick around in the UFC.

Unfortunately for Villefort, he's going to be cut next week.

Amazing fight, these guys must have a fire lit under them to perform well or face the possibility of getting cut, especially the newcomers.
