WME-IMG isn't playing around. I guess he's "not popular enough" for their brand.
There's no rhyme or reason at this stage...
Apparently he wanted to sign but they offered him such a low offer becuase he "didn't have a social media presence". Would love to see him in Rizin.
R u serious?
Wow they are letting fighters go at extremely weak weight classes
Cut?
He didn't resign after he fought out his contract
Is has to be a contract thing. No way they just cut him.
Wme is a bunch of idiots, fuck em!
UFC lost Ryan Bader, Lorenz Larkin, Misha Cirkunov, Nikita Krylov, and now Kyoji Horiguchi...... what are they doing.
That's five Ranked and exciting fighters.
12SixElbow - Cut?Their offer was so low that he had no option but to decline it. They effectively cut him.
He didn't resign after he fought out his contract

How can they cut someone who is not under contract? They offered him a contract that wasn't what he wanted so he turned it down. He obviously felt he was worth more and made the decision to turn it down.
You guys spend too much time getting upset about everything. You should be happy that another org can either match or pay more than what he was offered. You should be happy for him to leverage his UFC record for more money.

How is he getting lowballed if you don't even know what he was offered? He could have other offers paying him substantially more than what the UFC would deem as reasonable. Again just be happy that he could land more money on the open market.

I understand that. What I am saying is maybe he received another offer from a JMMA org or American org that was significantly more than what the UFC offered. For example, if the UFC offered some type of 50k/50k contract but another org offered him a flat rate of 100k it would make sense to just take the guarantee 100k. I myself am just happy that some of the fighters are getting interest from other orgs to increase their salaries.
They cut the Japanese Babe Ruth, they cut the fucking Gooch? All Japan is on its feet when he fights, are they giving up the Japanese market altogether? There's no other explanation.
