Yair Rodriguez is no longer with the UFC. UFC President Dana White released him on Friday after, apparently, becoming frustrated with his lack of willingness to accept fights, time off and a tweet White seemed to take exception to. Rodriguez hadn’t fought since UFC 211 when he lost to Frankie Edgar, his only loss inside the organization. They wanted the Mexican featherweight to face Zabit Magomedsharipov at UFC 227, but Rodriguez, for whatever reason, didn’t appear interested.

They say that every time Dana cuts someone Luke gets another white hair.
Lol haha lame ass .
I have the video on mute because im working…didnt yair zabit just become official? .whats going on? …and unprofessional on danas behalf to tweet what he did imo..
Hate on boxing all you want but at least you dont have one promoter controlling and calling the shots for everyone…this is why he doesnt want anything to do with unionization ?#controlfreak
Can't help but be a little disgusted by this.
I like how u make these vids when something is up.
Can someone enlighten me?
I don't get it, how can the ufc decide the contract they have with a fighter is invalid while the fighter cannot decide the same thing?
If they cut someone, does the ufc give them the salary of the remaining fights or something? If the ufc can just let someone go (without consent of the fighter himself), why can't people leave on their own and join bellator while they are under contract with the ufc?
A contract is an agreement between two parties right, not an agreement of the fighter to exclusively fight for the ufc if the ufc wants them to?
I'm somewhat surprised they didn't cut Eddie Alvarez before he finally accepted the fight against Dustin.
He’ll be back probably, Bellator is a good move for Yair and Belllator! He can be a star and build up his skills and experience. He shouldn’t have been turning down the likes of Zabit, he has potential for sure, hope he does well. Let’s not all cry about it
WTF really ?
looks like Dana White acts how he wants and how his mood is >:<
so how many Fighters have refuse to fight someone in the past….including Nate Diaz and so on ???
thanks Luke for the info !
Nate & Nick turn down fights , Connor hasn't fought in almost 2 yrs but this kid gets cut UFC is becoming a joke
