I have never been a fan of what I’ll refer to as “chopping block” stories. It’s the type of content that pops up around fight week where a writer looks at which fighters are under immense pressure to win their next bout or perhaps face release. These types of stories, while perhaps informative to the casual fan, rarely present anything the fighters or the fully immersed fans don’t know. However, UFC president Dana White recently said, “We’re gonna go through some serious cuts here at the end of the year. Probably gonna have 60 cuts coming up before the first of the year…You’re gonna see a lot of names going here in the next several weeks.
