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