POST-UFC 214: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Anaheim, CA for the first time in promotional background Saturday (July 29, 2017) with UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones II. It was a fun night of action that saw half of the bouts end inside the distance, and with the scraps now in our rear view, let us take a look at which of the evening’s competitors we might no longer see heading to work inside the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Kailin Curran
Curran dropped a decision to Aleksandra Albu at a scrap. She is now on a three-fight losing streak within the Octagon, falling to 1-5 in the UFC. After the defeat, despite putting up a solid effort and winning the third and last round of this fight, I think there is a good chance that the advertising releases her from her contract, considering I thought she’d certainly get discharged after her previous defeat. Right now, she is at what we call”Jessica Eye land,” therefore it wouldn’t be a shock to see her get a last chance for a third time.
Josh Burkman
Burkman was knocked out in the first round of his bout against the Drew Dober of Colorado. The loss puts him onto a four-fight losing streak from the UFC, the last two of which have now come by first-round finish. He retired after his previous loss, which was a first-round, north-south choke entry against Michel Prazeres, leaving his gloves at the Octagon. But he changed his mind and returned for the Dober bout. Whether he retires for good or not, I think it’s reasonable to say that we’ve seen the last of Burkman inside the Octagon, and I don’t expect to see the The Ultimate Fighter 2 veteran returning for a third stint with the promotion.
