For some reason Elliot Marshall (3-1 UFC) has been released following his split decision loss to The Janitor. I don't get it.
the conventional rational in other mma forums is that it's because he didn't finish fights (re: he's boring even when he wins)
Eric 'Red' Schafer has been cut from the UFC after losing his 2nd consecutive fight and having gone 3-4 in the UFC. His last two losses were to Ryan 'Darth' Bader and Jason Brilz (at UFC live on Vs.)
