Ronny Markes asks for WSOF release: ‘I want to cut ties with them as soon as possible’
The Brazilian light heavyweight, who hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision victory over Cully Butterfield in his promotional debut in 2014, was forced out of a bout with Dave Branch last April moments before the official weigh-ins due to illness. He believes that’s why the promotion has yet to offer him a new bout.
"I’m not happy with this time off. I’m seeing things happen for everyone, lots of athletes fighting, and I’m here waiting," Markes told MMAFighting.com. "I guess they were upset that I got sick before my last fight in April, but that’s explain it because Matt Hamill also pulled out of his fight and he already has another one booked."
