Not cut, Ben Saunders explains why he’s no longer on the UFC roster

Ben Saunders wanted to clear up a few things, so he took to the UG forum Monday evening.

After news surfaced that he was no longer with the UFC, the popular welterweight fighter explained his version of what went on over the last few months. Saunders said he was not cut by the UFC. Instead, he said he fought out his contract and, due to multiple personal reasons, was not quick to re-sign.

Once Saunders did feel ready to put pen on paper, he said, it was too late. The UFC had already moved on without him.
