Antonio Arroyo vs. Deron Winn

TOAO -

Yeah not sure why 5 foot 6 guy fights anything more than 155 He’s too short to do anything to taller guys really and needs to go on a diet

I think he missed weight at 185 too, if I recall.

FreakDaddy - I think they both deserve cut too. But is the UFC able to cut a fighter coming off of a win?

I believe they can cut whoever they want.

Yeah they can cut whoever. I know it's happened before, I think even after mutliple wins I just can't remember off the top of my head.

I've been trying to look but every time there was something involved...Matt Riddle came to mind after 4 wins lol, 2 of the 4 were no contests due to drug tests but the last win was legit. He was cut after a failed drug test though. I found Jamie Varner but he transferred to the WEC.

Winn is a Bellator fighter IMO.

Helwani now says that DC told him UFC has given Deron Winn a new contract.

Who can blame them after that scintillating performance the other night?

I like Winn but I expected him to be more well rounded. I expected him to be mini DC basically but he’s not close. He’s a powerhouse wrestler but he doesn’t have much else. His lack of length and reach cripples him on the feet. He just seems so limited due to that and I think the best route for him is to improve his bjj to the point where he can sub people on the ground

You gotta wonder, if there was no DC connection would Winn see another day inside the UFC octagon? I'm doubtful.

Hmmm.... I don't think you really need to wonder. Even Bisping was giving Cormier shit during the fight about how Winn was his "boy." Without DC, I think it's safe to say Winn wouldn't have been re-signed.

Thought it was pretty great that Bisping had no problem saying in front of DC that Winn could use some time on a treadmill.
