Jacob "Stitch" Duran has been a fixture of the UFC for years. Fans have seen him at nearly every event, tending to fighters' wounds and applying compresses to bumps and bruises. They also might have seen his recent Twitter posts and interview with Bloody Elbow saying that the UFC's recently implemented uniform policy with Reebok was delivering a hard hit to his bank account.
Well, the world's largest MMA promotion did not take too kindly to those. According to Duran on Twitter, the UFC has released him due to his "speaking out about" the deal:
@daej81 You will be the first to know that the UFC just let me go because I spoke out about the Reebok deal.
