POST-UFC 214: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
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 a fun night of action that saw half the bouts end inside the distance, and with all the scraps now in our rear perspective, let us look at that of the day’s opponents we might no longer see going to work inside the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Kailin Curran
Curran dropped a unanimous decision to Aleksandra Albu in a very entertaining scrap. She’s currently on a three-fight losing streak within the Octagon, falling to 1-5 in the UFC. Following the defeat, despite putting up a solid effort and winning the next and final round of the struggle, I think there is a fantastic chance that the promotion releases her out of her contract, believing I thought she’d certainly get discharged after her prior defeat. At this time, she is in what we call”Jessica Eye territory,” so 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 Colorado’s Drew Dober. The loss 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 following his previous reduction, which was a first-round, north-south choke entry against Michel Prazeres, leaving his gloves in the Octagon. However he changed his mind and returned to 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 within the Octagon, and I don’t expect to see the Ultimate Fighter 2 veteran returning for a third stint with the advertising.
