Paul Kelly released by the UFC

source: twitter.com

Gareth Davies brings word that British striker Paul Kelly (11-4) has been released from the promotion after his second round submission loss to Donald Cerrone (14-3) at UFC 126: "Silva vs. Belfort" on Feb. 5. The "sucker punch" reportedly had nothing to do with the decision to let "Tellys" go.

With the WEC coming over, a light weight fighter can't lose without worrying about getting cut.

Not the first time this has happened.....Gurgel got a FOTN bonus in his loss to Aaron Riley and was cut following that fight

The UKTT should make a troll petition to reinstate Kelly. Kelly just got bingo'd by the UFC. War USA

The bell rang. It was within the rules and wasn't a sucker punch. You take a chance when you touch gloves after the bell rings. The idea that they could even consider dropping him because of the so-called "sucker punch" is ridiculous. It's a fight.He got dropped bacause he lost. Period.

Didn't he and Cerrone get fight of the night honors?

I'm from the uk but Paul needs to improve his game before he can come back in to the UFC IMO.

You're joking, right? He hasn't been able to put two wins together in nearly two years andisn't able to beat non-top tier talent. That's why they let him go. Sometimes even entertaining fighters are let go if they aren't able to put the wins together. Just askBen Saunders.
