The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Anaheim, CA for the first time in promotional background last Saturday (July 29, 2017) using UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones II. It was a fun night of action that saw half of the bouts end within the distance, and with all the scraps now in our rear perspective, let’s look at which of the evening’s opponents we might no longer see going to work inside the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Kailin Curran
A decision dropped to Aleksandra Albu in a scrap. She’s now on a three-fight losing streak within the Octagon, falling to 1-5 in the UFC. After the defeat, despite setting up a solid hard work and winning the third and last round of this struggle, I think there’s a good chance that the advertising releases her from her contract, believing I thought she’d certainly get discharged after her previous defeat. At this time, she is in what we call“Jessica Eye land,“ therefore it would not totally be a shock to see her get a last opportunity for a third time.
Josh Burkman
Burkman was knocked out in the first round of his bout from the Drew Dober of Colorado. The loss puts him on a four-fight losing streak from the UFC, the final two of which have now come from first-round finish. He retired after his prior reduction, which had been a first-round, north-south choke submission against Michel Prazeres, leaving his gloves in the Octagon. But he returned to the Dober bout and changed his mind. Whether he retires for good or not, I think it’s reasonable to say that we have seen the last of Burkman inside the Octagon, and that I do not expect to find the The Ultimate Fighter 2 veteran returning for a third stint with the promotion.
