So Jake Rosholt and Brock Larson get cut....how do Baroni and Kang keep their jobs?

I'm not necessarily complaining about Rosholt or Larson being let go. Rosholt was rushed into the UFC even though his striking looked very green in the WEC, and Larson seems to do well against mediocre competition and poorly against tougher opponents.

But neither Kang nor Baroni have impressed anyone lately. Now they're on the biggest stage in the MMA world and somehow stay with the UFC in spite of high-profile losses. Kang is a talented fighter who seems to pull defeat from the jaws of victory more often that not, and Baroni can't seem to maintain any cardio past the first round. I don't see either guy making noise at MW or WW in the future.

IMO Leben is the one who has been put on notice, Rosholt beat him yet this still happened.

I'd say if Leben loses against J. Silva he might be shown the door

It's not about winning or losing. It's all about ticket sales and ppvs

Baroni sure was exciting after gassing in 3 minutes and getting dominated for the next 12.
