Here's a handy place to keep track of and discuss the fates of those poor souls Uncle Dana puts in the unemployment line in 2012.

Post any you can find, and their names will be added to the list. 



*I'm not sure if I can edit the original post after 24 hours to keep a list going, but we'll see how this works.

If he doesn't get cut, that choke he threw on late in the 3rd will probably have something to do with it.

From UFC 141; Efrain will potentially be on the block, I think Manny might be as well, and potentially Riddle.

I don't. He's the ultimate gatekeeper, if you beat him, you're good. He is a great indicator and an entertaining fighter.

edit: I don't think he'll get cut, not I don't care if he get's cut. I'm a big fan of Vlad's.

I hope all those aging good fighters that are hanging on, keep hanging on and find a second life.

Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Sean Sherk, BJ Penn, Big Nog, Forrest Griffin, Kenny Florian, Rich Franklin, Fedor, Dan Hardy, etc.  May they all keep on keeping on.

I would bet dollars to doughnuts, we don't see Tito Ortiz fighting for the UFC in 2013.  (And not because of anything having to do with the Mayan calander)

Vlady's become a headhunter lately. Not something I want to see him pursue in his next fight.

Also, I expect Sexyama, Gomi, and Yamamoto getting cut if they each lose their next bouts. Although I'm picking 2 of those 3 to win. Sorry JMMA fans.

I'm just gonna go ahead and bump this thread.  Just in case a certain someone that missed weight doesn't win tomorrow night.

@Benjamin way to go out on a limb with your Tito proclamation since he has been saying that he wants his last fight to be in july.

I was looking at the fighters with the biggest threat to being cut on the two up coming cards. Felipe Arantes is at risk if he loses to Antonio Carvalho that would make him 0-2 in the UFC. I would say Ricardo Funch but taking fights on short notice usually at least get you 1 more shot. A couple one and done possibilities but not likely. 

UFC on FX has a couple guys who could be on the block Jorge Rivera is 0-2 in his last 2, his opponent Eric Schafer is 0-3 in his last 3 appearances and 0-2 since his return could send him packing again. Daniel Roberts is at risk for coming into his fight on a 2 fight losing streak and considering hie isn't very well rounded. Of course the possibility of the one and done guys and Joseph Sandoval if he loses could be cut. Pat Barry and Christian Morecraft could be on the chopping block as well though Dana really like Pat Barry.

Did Jason Brilz get cut after his last loss? He loses one more, and he's gone.

EDIT: Never mind, he got cut.

I bet Rumble's gonna get cut if he loses, and maybe even if he wins.  Everyone's reporting that Dana is furious, and frankly I don't blame him.  Dude misses weight twice, moves up to middleweight to avoid these kinds of things, comes in 11 pounds overweight for his first middleweight fight.  Unacceptable.

I know that he was apparently really ill from cutting as he was approaching weight, and bloated back up to his 197 after receiving fluids from medical staff, but I don't think that excuse gets him very far.

Given the statements I've read that have been attributed to AJ's facebook, I think he's cut no matter what after tonight.

I don't know what's up with AJ's contract with the UFC but my guess is a big part of why he missed weight was because this was the first time he's ever fought outside the US and didn't do the cut properly.  Regardless, If he wins he cheated Vitor who probably killed himself to make 186 and took immediate fluids.  I'm a Rumble fan but I hope Vitor wins just to add insult.  I think the UFC will keep Rumble if he wins but relegate him to middle weight or even LHW.  One thing you can count on--he will not be a co-main event/main event for a long time until he proves he can make weight.
