Isn't Houston like 35?
Its a bit late to have potential and develop a ground game to survive at this level.

Vinny is not really a fail, he did get cut and his stand up sucks.
How ever the dudes groundgame is on another level (just need to make a full transition to mma), he subbed Pe De Pano at ADDCC with a flying armbar this year.

I wont not really call these fighters for fail.
They are all very inexperienced in MMA.
And maybe they (some of them) should never have been in UFC.
Most of them had the shots via TUF.

I think Vinny still has a shitload of potential, if he can put his full game together he could be a force.

Vinny Magalhaes should have gone the damian maia route and played it safe. His stupid ego is what landed him in his two loses and thus being dropped from the ufc.

The guy can move for a lhw on the floor, got great elasticity in his legs but i guess he needs to work his shit out. Personally I dont think he will be back in the UFC again.
