UFC is entertainment, not sport.

Is there a reason why they didn’t re-sign him?

Ridiculous.

If a dude is winning and boring, keep him until he loses. Just put him down in the prelims.

There are way too many cans in the UFC who can’t win against any decent level competition.

Could be a contract dispute for all I know, but shit like this waters down the brand.

I hate this era of UFC. TKO ruins everything it touches.

Earlier this week, Basharat released his own statement on his departure, writing, “My departure clearly has nothing to do with my fighting capabilities. Unfortunately the organization just isn’t what it used to be. They’re heading in a different direction from what we all grew up loving.”

True.

Then they’ll keep some dude who loses two thirds of his fights because he stands and wangs or talks trash.

They already trained their fan base to do that all while thinking the sport has “evolved” for the better. :roll_eyes:

I hate the direction of UFC right now. TKO owns WWE as well and they are running it into the ground. Both have went downhill since being purchased by them.
