George give it a break, Trigg is a middle of the pack old fighter at best. You can go on and on about how unfair it would be to let him go with just 1 loss, the bottom line is he is no longer a threat to compete for any title and one of the reasons he wanted to get back in the UFC was to do just that. If its a paycheck he needs fine but please stop with all of the excuses on why he lost, and how great he was performing for about 60 seconds, he was just beaten by a better fighter.

I think it would be kind of stupid to release after fighting a top 5 welterweight, He should get a shot against a different welterweight and if he wins a good fashion throw him back into the fray, if he loses again,
OUT

While I don't like the tone of the op and he makes some terrible points the general sentiment is not totally lost on me.
The title contention thing doesn't make sense because there are a LOT of fighters not in title contention who are still going to get fights.
I don't know how unfair it is, because in the end its a business and not about being fair.
I love twinkle toes but I understand why he would be cut by the UFC 1 loss or no. Since 04 he has fought 5 guys i would consider top competition.
Hughes
Lawler
Condit
Koscheck
GSP
He has lost to all of them in the first round. His last 3 wins all were against much lesser fighters and they all went to decision.
I don't really want to see Trigg be a guy up and comers make their name off of. I suspect that to be part of the reason the UFC may decide to release him.
Would Trigg even accept a fight against some of the up and coming WW's? I don't think he should be fighting guys like Thiago Alves or Fitch. So he would have to take fights with like Paulo Thiago etc. Is that what he really wants and is the UFC going to pay him the same kind of money to fight those guys as he deserves for fighting guys like koscheck?
If he is willing to accept the lesser opponents and lesser pay then I am all aboard the Twinkle Toes Train. If not then I understand the need to release him.

i say give him another shot. i don't think koscheck was the right guy to pick for his first fight back at welterweight. i think there are lots of guys he could take at 170 still but josh is a hell of a test for anyone. i don't know if anyone else feels this way but he looked like he was nervous walking out and when he got in the octagon. normally he comes out ultra cocky and confident, but he just didn't seem to have it this time. i guess it sorta looked like he had the octagon jitters to me.
