Canadian Jesse Ronson has moved on from the UFC for now, but says he is back in the promotion’s good books.
Ronson signed with the UFC in December for a short-notice fight at UFC 231, but was pulled from the card after being deemed “too heavy” to safely make weight. Immediately after his removal from UFC 231, Ronson, then the TKO welterweight and lightweight champion, was also released from the promotion.
Ronson admitted he shouldn’t have taken the fight in the first place. Ronson said he was 190 pounds when he got the call to fight Diego Ferreira and managed to cut down to 176 pounds in 11 days.
