Yeah, since he beat Kimbo in a street fight the UFC is really going to regret cutting him. :?
I'm being extremely sarcastic by the way.

I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but Din Thomas, that guy was a beast, wins over Rich Clementi, Jeremy Stephens, Matt Serra, and Clay Guida, and Jens Pulver, but the UFC thought he wasn't fighting with his heart in it anymore, so they let him go. Plus, since his drop down to 145 Lbs he's gone 3-0, but Dana has a hand in the WEC, so he'll probably never get signed there since he was already released by the UFC.

always liked that dude....i remember thinking he would crush Florian and i was bummed out when he lost.....i think he was injured before he was submitted in that fight which made it all the more bitter tasting. I totally agree with your assessment.

Even though I never really cared for him (and he's back now anyways) I'd have to say Karo Parisyan.

Not sure he is the best to get cut, but I think he has a promising future...Jake Rosholt. I never understood that move by UFC.
Was Robbie Lawler cut or did he leave?

Karo is definitely up there. I think if Karo trained like GSP, he could be a top 5 WW.

Nick Diaz was cut by the UFC, then brought back as a late replacement (and got one more after that) and then left on his own after those two fights.

I miss Jason MacDonald. Paul Daley must be on some people's list too - no?

Paul Daley for sure. Not that many like him but he knows how to put people to sleep with his fist and knees, so he's in.

Rodger Huerta. I consider not being "resigned" about the same as being cut.

If that's the Logic, I'd have to go with Dan Henderson.

the UFC actually wanted Henderson back though. I'm not sure they really wanted Huerta back.

the love for Daley is just hilarious...........he was a good striker but in a division filled with great wrestlers he isn't that good......
You guys probably wouldn't even have said Werdum if he hadn't beat Fedor..........
Other than that I would have to say Jardine....

Besides Werdum I would have to say Jake Rosholt..but I'm sure Jake will be back in no time at all.

Werdum wasnt cut. He had a 4 fight deal that stated if he won 3 straight, he'd get a title shot. He lost his fourth fight (to Dos Santos), and has to renegotiate a new deal. The UFC and his camp couldnt come to terms.
