The UFC has established itself as the pinnacle of the combat sports world. The top MMA fighters have a dream to compete in the UFC as it’s home to the best MMA fighters in the world. Moreover, fighters coming from all over the world feel proud of being called a UFC fighter. Most of the fighters wish to become champions in the promotion. However, only a few attain the dream. The best news that any MMA fighter would receive is being signed into the UFC and seeing their name on the roster. A few may even have this opportunity twice. However, there are certain fighters that are not lucky and perhaps get some dreadful news of being released from the promotion as is the case of the 27-year-old fighter.

Fans ‘puzzled’ as Saidyokub Kakhramonov is released from the UFC
The fans were confused upon seeing the fighter released after just 1 loss in the UFC. One fan asked Kakhramonov whether the UFC gave an explanation for the treatment. To this, the Uzbekistan fighter replied that the UFC didn’t give an explanation and suddenly gave the shocking news.
Nope. First told us wait until May or shop around then yesterday they said they want to release me. I was actually looking at that new comer Japanese fighter Nakamura. Looked amazing I thought that would be a great challenge for me.

Another fan asked the former UFC bantamweight to keep his head up high. The fighter replied that he was sad but will definitely bounce back from the setback.
I’m lil bit sad ofc. But my head is always gonna be high. I’m better that most of this guys anyways.

Furthermore, one fan said that Professional Fighters League might be the way to go in the future. However, the 27-year-old pointed out that PFL doesn’t have a bantamweight division.
They don’t have 135

The fans also pointed out that the entertainment factor is playing a major role in the UFC. One fan also claimed that entertainment is superseding the sport.
They are talking about Conor getting a title fight if he beats Chandler. It’s entertainment>sport unfortunately. Most will disagree with me but a tournament format is the only thing I see saving the integrity of this sport we love so much. Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Furthermore, there were words of encouragement for the recently released fighter.
That’s really strange. you’re a great fighter. These guys just brought modestas back and you have a way higher skill set and ceiling. They always bring back guys short notice. They also made mistakes in cutting really good fighters. if UFC is your end goal I’m sure you’ll be bak
