The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Anaheim, CA for the seventh time in promotional history Saturday (July 29, 2017) with UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones II. It was an entertaining night of activity that saw half the bouts end within the distance, and with all the scraps today in our rear perspective, let’s take a look at that 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 very entertaining scrap. She’s now on a three-fight losing streak inside the Octagon, falling to 1-5 in the UFC. Following the defeat, despite putting up a good effort and winning the next and final round of this fight, I think there is a good likelihood that the advertising releases her out of her contract, believing I thought she’d certainly get discharged after her prior defeat. Right now, she is in what we call»Jessica Eye territory,» so it would not be a shock to see her receive a final opportunity for a third time.
Josh Burkman
Burkman was knocked out from the Drew Dober of Colorado. The loss puts him onto a four-fight losing streak from the UFC, the final two of which have come by first-round finish. He retired following his prior reduction, which had been a first-round, north-south choke entry against Michel Prazeres, leaving his gloves at the Octagon. But he changed his mind and returned to the Dober bout. Whether he retires for good or not, I think it’s reasonable to say that we’ve seen the last of Burkman within the Octagon, and I do not expect to find the Ultimate Fighter 2 veteran returning for a third stint with the advertising.
