So the ufc says that it is a business that will always keep exciting fighter's around. This is very evident of a fighter like clay guida, and the like. Now, can someone explain to me why this did not translate for Gerald Harris?! He had a record of 3-1 in the octagon and they cut him! All of those wins came by KO/TKO and two of those wins won knockout of the night bonuses. He had one boring fight, and it was a very lackluster fight, but does that mean he should be cut based on that one performance?

He is a good solid fighter who brings it every time. Stupid mistake by the UFC.

Strikeforce has said they prefer not to sign fighters coming off a loss. Gerald will soon be with another big show if not the UFC if he continues performing the way he did in the UFC.

They say that as they sign Pul Daley tsk tsk. Just saying, i know he's a huge ko artist, but I mean they made a huge exception for him, they can do it for Gerald, though it would be nice if he wins in  TPF, so strikeforce doesn't have to lie again.
