TUF alum James McSweeney: Facebook post got me cut from ONE Championship

James McSweeney just wanted a fight. And said so on his personal Facebook page.

His promoters at ONE Championship apparently didn't like that too much, McSweeney said. The Ultimate Fighter 10 alum told MMAFighting.com that ONE released him this week because of what he wrote on social media. McSweeney said he was informed via email.

"What upset me is the childishness of it and the way it was done," McSweeney said. "For two years, I gave them my career. I fought three times. I gave my heart in my fights and won by big knockouts.
