Chuck "Cold Steel" O'Neil
I was officially released by the UFC today. I will continue to work hard to improve myself as a person and a fighter everyday. I WILL make it back there because the UFC is where I belong. Thank you to everyone for your continued support and there will be a fight coming soon with a MUCH improved performance!

I was rooting for him but he didn't look like he even wanted to be there.

He has alot of hard work to do if he wants to make it back.

He has some work to do but now maybe that he has tasted it he will push that much harder and get back to where he needs to be. Phone Post

Oh no! Not Chuck O'Neil! Phone Post

He looked lethargic and just blank.

I bet he fights much better next time, hopefully he works his way back. He's only 25...

Stage fright maybe? I mean being on TUF is one thing, but being in front of that many people live affected him possibly.

Chuck O'Neil ????
I didn't know he was an UFC fighter....

sickdarce -  TUF luck. Who cares

He looked great in ONE fight and then in his last two he looked absolutely clueless out there honestly. He seems like a tough dude, a good guy, and a loyal friend but I don't think he'll be back in the UFC. Good luck to him though whatever happens.

 Yup, that was his 1 shot in the big show on the main card and he looked like he was doing some light sparring.

I think he was expecting Cope to be the boring strike n bike fighter he was on the show, so once things started to go Copes way, Chuck was just confused the entire 15 minutes.

IMO Chris Cope fought a good fight, slow at times, but he pushed the pace and initiated the exchanges. I don't think Chuck expected that and thought he'd have his way with him.

I didn't know the UFC had signed him after TUF. He does not look ready to be in the UFC either. He"s young, Irish and from Boston - if he works hard Dana would probably give him another shot. Phone Post

 I'm pretty surprised honestly. Dana had the biggest  boner for him on the show adn he only got one chance afterwards?  Wow.  Definitely not business as usual. Next thing you know, Hardy will get cut after his next loss.

Cool story bro.

SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT!

Well, Mark Pavelich?

He didn't wanna be a fucking fighter? Phone Post

Why would he be a USA reject?  Thats a little harsh dude...

No idea who this guy is. TUF alum?
