do u mean 7 fighters i hope j-roc didnt get released
they made that hightower out to be a bit of a girl but he could bang a bit, maybe they shouda gave him one more fight see what he could do
That sucks Hightower could throw (guess he wasn’t very well rounded though) I thought Dorian had some good standup as well
i have read somewhere that richie hightower is being let go to gain some experience and see how he goes with a view to bringing him back if he fairs ok.as for the others i dont see any great losses.
Hightower signed with Palace Fighting Championship last month, so certainly wasn’t in the UFC anymore.
But what I really want to know is, did they release Weems?
Eltz – Nah, Dana White loves people (win or lose) who kick serious ass and compete. The J-Rock vs. War Machine was a fight of the year in that weight class.
I heard news about Hightower a week or two ago. He’s moved to that smaller organization to get more experience. They made him out to be a dork on the show but I don’t think he’s that bad. He at least realizes that he’s not ready for the UFC.
I won’t miss any of those other guys.
Yeah, the did seem to try to make him out to be a douche, and of all those listed, he’s the only one I’d care to see fight again. Good call, Dr.
I am glad Hightower is gone. I was starting to like him. Just kidding. He definately has potential. I hated him at first, but he has “hands and heart”, so if he can rack up some W’s in the ol’ “W/L” columns, I will welcome him back with (semi) open arms.
lowcash yeah thats right i always wanted 2 know what happen 2 weems and marlon sims
Simms just won his 250th street fight. It was at the local elementary school. He also had his third illegimate kid, so congrats to him. Weems had a sex-op so he can fight in Taiwan as a girl.
Damn Eltz – forgot about sims!! How could I forget?
Maybe we’ll get to see a Weems vs. Si…. aw, nevermind.
