Meshugga Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 He was cut because he didn't go after Falco in the third round and just accepted defeat. Dana is easy to piss of nowadays.

Piffy Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sometimes I don't understand Dana... There must be atleast 20-30 other fighters in the UFC who should be cut before Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzee Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 He just needed to shine his stand up and once he did he would have had a hell of a reach advantage. I think I going to be sick cause I was born in the same city as Harris, Tulsa OK.... Never knew him, but boy did he have some ground skills.

Rex_Kwon_Do Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 It could be that Gerald Harris needs to add another discipline to his arsenal and the UFC is counting on this to happen before he returns. If there's anyone who has as good a shot as anybody else at getting back into the UFC sooner than later it's Gerald Harris. personally I just don't think he brings enough to the table. He's not particular great on the ground or in the standup so essentially he was nothing more than a Drew McFedries with slams. His being released doesn't shock me or disppoint me other than to echo what other people have on here that there may be less deserving fighters still under contract. Once Falcoa showed his superiority in both the standup and the ground Harris had nothing to fall back on and with his game plan out the window all he could do (or wanted to do) was flick a little jab out there with his almost 80" reach in hopes that Falcoa would rush in and make a mistake and he would get lucky even though he had to have known realistically that he was down two rounds in the fight already and losing the third. Dana simply wants to see guys go all out like it's their last fight like Leben does (win, lose, or draw) and Harris didn't show that heart. From what people have said on here, concerning the clock malfuntion in the first round, he was lucky to have even made it to a decision to begin with.

Sixshoota Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 This merger is opening up the door for Strikeforce/Bellator to grab some top level talent from the UFC. Talent that the UFC might think is expendable. Harris was on a roll, and who knows how good Falcao is? This guy could be a future champion for all we know, senseless cut.

Riot_Act101 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 damn...i am suprised....if that is the case, then falao or whatever his name is should be cut also... boy i would love to know the real resoning behind some of th edecisions,...

Technique Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dana is sending a message. He wants his fighters to actually fight, strange concept I know. Harris was down 2 round to 0 and decided to just stare at Falcao. He thought his previous performances were enough to keep his position secure and Dana wants to make sure nobody thinks like this again. I think we might start to see a difference in the fighters. Harris will be back and fighters will think twice about safe fighting. Win win in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I suspect that someone up high has been reading all the complaints in this forum about LnP. Invariably it's a wrestler that gets the label. I see UFC going modified K-1 and for starters that means weeding out the octo-control, wrestling and GnP guys-again, mostly wrestlers. It'll be a sad day indeed if that happens. Ed Soares-?Yeah, there are a few differences, but at the end of the day, it?s about putting asses in seats and getting these guys well known."

Ufc can absolutely take a page from K~1. The Ufc exploded when (dare I say)..."Strikers" were the Top fighters. That IS the "Ufc". It Always has been & Always will be. There has just been more Rules implented over time to get it Sanctioned. As it's Sanctioned you will Thankfully see it go back to it's Bread & Butter & what the Majority of Ufc fans want to see...Strikers..be it on the feet or on the Ground. Thankfully..the "Wrestlers time in the Ufc (Zzzz) has come & is Nearly passed. The only thing that would ever destroy the Ufc is if it becomes "Wrestling". It..has it's place as a small tool..in MMA. A Means to an end. Nothing more. As for "Octo~Control"..that is perception. As Machida & Rampage & many other fights have shown. I can't wait for the day when Fighters actually try to finish fights again..like they did back in 05-08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
