According to this interview
http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/2/21/4015644/dana-white-explains-why-he-released-jon-fitch

100 more fighters will be cut. And the total fighters UFC have in their stable is 371 according to this list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_UFC_fighters
That's 27% !
So 1 in 4 will get a pink slip.
I guess after the Strikeforce merge, UFC couldn't handle the volume.

I called this a long time ago...with the people forget that the UFC under zuffa is a very young company and even thought MMA is a sport that has grown every fast....with the speed it is going there is bound to be growing pains...this is just one of those moments

The ufc is not that big or sound of a company...they can not afford to pay all these guys top dollar (which they deserve really)....no one can name a sport where its top company,franchise,club ect has the number of millionairs on its roster (silva,jones,GSP,Penn,ect) for how long they have been around

To rap my post up...the ufc is adding fighters...and cuz of that its going to be harder for guys to live up to the expectations of what a ufc fighter is...and cuz of that some heads will have to roll
With that being said...Fitch,Mills should never have been cut
