Dana White said in response to the release of Yoel Romero that at least 60 fighters in addition will be removed from the roster in the next coming weeks. What are your predictions?
Based on last night I would say Gian Villante and Matt Wiman for sure.

They won't cut Stephens, that would seriously surprise me. He's a company man, he's never talked about leaving the UFC or any problems with Dana White. Although he did miss weight and is on a losing streak, and Dana White is best friends with Trump, so he's turning into him.

I think brazillian headliner are more at risk of being cut now because of the no live gate.
Assuncao & JDS probably already out and Souza is at high risk

Yeah JDS should just quit too many concussions etc especially since he is slowing and his style requires speed.
Jacare is in similar boat just got kod by a welterweight probably time, ralph nobody cares.
Back to wonderbread I am not confident, him and dana never seemed that chummy had some losses and mediocre fights he might be headed for bellator.

I think Yair Rodriguez is gonna get cut because I heard from an untrustworthy source that Yoel Romero was being a diva and the UFC might not cut Jacure and Dos Santos because they big names that they probley not gonna pay much or atlest they fight whoever whenever

The Contenders makes it easier to recruit talent so I am not surprised.

Yair is on a win but yeah, he is probably one lost away of being cut.
Or maybe UFC keep him and propose him the zhabit fight 3 times a years until him or zhabit retire

Nothing official but Tyron Woodley appears to have announced he’s been cut from the UFC on Snapchat.

@Hyrm

If true, I don't think anyone would be surprised by that. It will be interesting to see if another promotion takes him, Bellator seems most likely but PFL have just signed Anthony Pettis so they might try and go for Woodley and possibly a few of the others who will be cut as well.

I dont think Woodley want to ever fight twice in the same night. And with guy like Magomedsharipov & Mcdonald I dont think he can win the million. 

Bellator seems the perfect place for him to win 2-3 fight before getting leg kick to death by Douglas Lima

You know they ain't cutting Cifer after being on a 4 fight lossing streak and she the only fighter that got that far that people don't care about, and she fighting Emily Whitmire after she on an 2-3 fight lossing streak also. Whitmire must have some real dirt on Dana, Because they cutting Romero, Pettis  and Woodly and not the worst of UFC WMMA have to offer. What next they gonna cut champion like Usman, Stipe and Volkoniski because reason

Withmire & Ciffer probably cost 12K max a fight. They can put them on early prelim and said they have a 14 fight card. If Ciffer lost she probably get cut like Ostovich recently. I don't know why UFC absolutely want to keep an inflated women division rooster.

Its not 60 and its more then a mont later, but the cut finally arrive.


with the cut in the last 2 mont its bring it to a total around 20. No big names like Dana suggested after the Romero cut. heres the list.

Mostly its the lowest level of the rooster, Carlos Junior is the only significant name (to me) and I suggest him to take the last spot on the PFL rooster LHW and take the easy million before someone else did.

Perez asked for his release, he said he doesn’t deserve a roster spot

i think they are not cutting as many as they need backup fighters.  They are losing a few fighters an event now.
