UFC boss Dana White has warned that the recent cuts which have seen 16 fighters laid-off to help slim line a bloated roster are far from over. Out of the fighters dropped it was undoubtedly Jon Fitch’s name which shocked fans of the sport, the welterweight contender deemed to be earning too much money relative to his current position will have to find a new job from Tuesday.
With a brand new women’s division and a host of new fighters from strikeforce set to join, the number of fighters under contract with UFC is in excess of 450, according to White that’s far too many.
Speaking after the UFC 157 pre-fight press conference he explained, “We have 470-something guys under contract, we have 100 guys too many on the roster right now. The blood has not all been spilled yet, there is more to come”.
Fighters going through the motions are the direct targets of White’s ire, who delivered some simple advice to anyone scared of losing their contract.
“Any guy out there, let me tell you what you better do-you better fight your f-king ass off and make it good and win, that’s the only way people want to see you.”
