Charlie Brenneman Cut from the UFC®
Charlie Brenneman cut by the UFC! Only two losses in a row, never really a boring fight in the UFC and the cut him? But they keep people around like Yoshihiro Akiyama, who has lost the last 4 in a row (realisticaly 5). Proving all you need is PPV buys to get ahead. This kind of sh** is why I have defend the sport.

Basically, I realized after my last fight that I wasn’t in a good situation. A week had passed, and yesterday I got a call from my manager/trainer, Mike Constantino. He just said it as succinctly as possible, which is how I prefer it, ‘It’s not good, you’re cut.’
There’s nothing really to say. I kind of made my own bed, and I hope to get another chance. I lost to Kyle Noke, and when someone says, ‘You got caught early’, I have to counter that by saying that I shouldn’t have left him the opening to hit me. That’s just the way it goes.
I’m not closing the book on anything. The UFC is where I want to be, and it’s where I will be again. I give up a lot to fight. I don’t live with my wife. I live in New Jersey so I can devote myself to training, when all my family lives in Pennsylvania. It’s not a question of drive and passion. I have plenty of that. When that drive naturally expires, then I’ll think about stopping.
