Dave Herman 4 losses
John Maguire 3 losses
Bristol Marunde 2 losses
Ednaldo Lula 2 losses
Vinny Magalhaes 2 losses
Sheila Gaff 2 losses
Do you guys think any of those deserved another chance?
Nah, everyone is 29 or above and coming off multiple losses.
Not to say none of them ever deserve to return (well, maybe Herman), but, they need to prove it in the lower tiered org's in my opinion.

Also Sheila Gaff with 2 losses. She should've at least been allowed to fight out her contract.

Getting absolutely destroyed and finished in the first round in both of her first two fights gets you kicked out pretty quickly. Deservedly too. Though admittedly 135 is completely the wrong weightclass for her.
Vinny, he lost to one of the best guys in the division and was on the wrong end of a knockout that none of us saw coming, I would have given him one shot. I do hope the guy doesn't retire and goes to Bellator or WSOF.

He's 29 and is sitll a top tier grappler/submission specialist.
If he wants to continue to fight he will have plenty of options.
Even if he retires from active competition, he'd still have a healthy future/revenue stream in coaching if he wanted to go that route.
Gaff and Vinny no,
Gaff is in a division that is more shallow than FLW or even HW at least give her the third on her contract then let her go if she losses that one. As for Vinny he just got caught thats all nobody saw that coming in fairness again the 3 strike rule should of being applied to him also
the rest yeah !
Herman really f---ed up his chances in the big time thats for sure

One of the best guys in the division? Who are we talking about here? Phil Davis? He's barely a top 10 LHW. Look no further than the Rashad Evans fight to see that. I'm not going to let a gift wrapped decision where he had zero offense against Machida sway me on that one either. That fight with him and Vinny was terrible.
Gaff shouldve been given 1 more fight at least. She got beaten by 2 of the bigger up and coming killers that will probably be given title shots soon..
I can understand the rest I'm afraid, although sad to see Maguire and Vinny go..

Hopefully they sign Jessica Eye to fill the roster spot. Jessica is a much more talented and well rounded fighter than Gaff.

Hence why she was getting destroyed same with..... whats her name ? (quick google check) Rosi Sexton she is tiny for 135 she be best at 125 or even 115. If people call for more divisions make it the women's weight classes they would need it the most

At least now she gets to fight women her own weight outside the UFC. Like Dana said, they're not looking to add more women's divisions for now. If she goes on a streak they'll re-sign her once they open up more divisions.

Who?

The guy who wrecked B. Magalhaes and Salas (who is still under contract) and lost to Masvidal and Castillo due to lay and pray. And in my opinion should still have won the Masvidal fight. He's a much, much better fighter than any of the 6 getting cut now.
