Saidyokub Kakhramonov, a promising UFC bantamweight, was abruptly dropped from the promotion last week, and no one was prepared for it.
Kakhramonov informed his followers that he had been dropped by the promotion before the Roster Watch Twitter account broke the news on Twitter.
“Watch lol UFC releasing me after 1 defeat smh before you see my name on the UFC Roster. In my three ufc fights over almost two years, I was never treated fairly. Every time I entered the cage, I felt as though it was my debut. Whoa, three fights in two years? It is as though they brought me in to fail.
After taking down the tweet, he returned to Twitter to complain about being let go following just one defeat against a rated foe in three bouts inside the octagon. He mentioned the lengthy trip he had taken from Uzbekistan for his last-minute debut.
“Man, screw everyone. Without training and with only five days’ notice, I had to fly 20+ hours for my debut. 12 hours separated UZB and Vegas, but I still won my debut. I’m the best, so f**k you all.”
In addition, Kakhramonov discussed his failure to lose weight and attributed his impressive debut performance to natural talent.
“Yes, I was 2.5 pds underweight, but I continued to smoke hookah every day while clubbing and f**king about. If you are able to fight, you are able to fight. [emoji shrug]”
Fans hailed Saidyokub Kakhramonov as a legitimate talent after his two spectacular victories over Trevin Jones and Ronnie Lawrence in his three bouts in the octagon. His lone defeat and final outing for the promotion, though, came at the hands of rated foe Said Nurmagomedov through submission.
Saidyokub Kakhramonov defends Conor McGregor for promoting his teammates on TUF
Conor McGregor will rejoin the UFC by serving as a coach on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. Before meeting the lightweight contender in the championship match, he will face Michael Chandler as the opposition coach.
McGregor has been charged with excluding contestants from the upcoming season of TUF in favour of his own colleagues. The Irishman was defended by Saidyokub Kakhramonov, who gave the quality of the boxers as a good justification for his conduct.
“Everyone that is upset with Connor for bringing his boys in, lmao. Seriously, take a look at the list of the guys; they all need to be sent home. [emoji shrug]”
In a now-deleted tweet in response to UFC middleweight Chris Curtis, McGregor himself rejected the reports.
