Nooooooooooo!!!! Gono cut!!!!

Sad day.

Gono gone.

Akihiro Gono released from the UFC, now in negotiations with Sengoku | Five Ounces of Pain

edit, didn't realize how old this was. Guess I missed it.

Yeah, old news but sad nonetheless. I think it was a bit premature.

I hate to be that guy, but you might've noticed that this article was posted nearly 3 weeks ago! Very old news in terms of the internet!

It's a shame, but really he wasn't performing and claiming a bigger cheque than a number of guys in the division who were, so it might be the best thing for him in the end. We can get back to epic full-length Gono Bounces and hopefully see him rebound against some good competition in Sengoku.

That Sucks, great showman, IMO he won that decision, not Hardy.

Yeah I mean the UFC builds its rep on having the best fighters. Gono clearly was not.

But bottom line, he's super experienced and if he's on the card of a show I'm going to, well it's one more thing to get excited about.

I don't see anything wrong with keeping a guy for entertainment value. They do it for Houston Alexander!

I would have liked to see Lytle fight him. Or one of the Pauls.
