UFC releases Duffee.

I saw this coming a mile away.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/20558/ufc-releases-heavyweight-prospect-todd-duffee.mma

looks like his dumb ass should have done the interviews

Well, other than that one second Russow caught him he looks to be a good HW floating around..maybe Duffee/Beuntello will finally take shape.

wtf why ?

wtf? he must have done something to anger the head honchos... roids? contract dispute?
I really liked Duffee hope he can get a fight in strikeforce, or belator

Strikeforce needs to pick him up quick.

It's gotta be between an injury or angering one of the bosses.

LMAO. SF should definitely pick him up and instantly make Duffee-Del Rosario

Duffee vs Rogers or Lavar Johnson.

Duffee vs Batista.

According to his manager



"Well, I'm not sure exactly what the problem or problems were. I tryed [sic] hard to avoid, but Dana wasn't listening. It unfortunate, but Todd's an ass."

ahahahahaha

He'll be back this is just Dana flexing alittle to put Duffee in his place. I'd like to see how he does in SF but he'll probably want to much money and end up kissing Dana's ass to get back into the ufc.

Gotta agree. Of what we know, he has a decent upside. Something bad happened.

Don't go counting your title contender eggs before they're hatched.

i think his dumbass not wanting to do press tours and looking more boring than a wooden chair when he was on them had a big reason

Duffee will be back. Dude's a beast. If he can get his ground game improved, he will be a contender down the road.

I read somewhere that his manager said asset, not ass.

Is he back at DQ? Maybe he can fight cheesburger Josh on his lunch break.

word is he was bitching about pay and bad mouthing dana and zuffa as a whole. And you know dana's response take your ass back to dairy queen bitch cause you not even main card worthy. Hated it!

I hope Duffee develops into a quality heavyweight at Strikeforce, it's about time one of Dana's decisions back fired on his bald napper.

Duffee is a glass chinned nobody who got too big for his britches. Dana laid the law down. I am sure he'll be back though after he learned his lesson.

No wonder Todd was complaining, he got paid $8,000 for facing Russow.

I did see this.

no answers yet as to why, but as usual, here are the rumors.

There's so much chatter and speculation as to why the UFC would cut Duffee that we're just going to call this thing the 'Duffee Conspiracy Theory' list. Here are some of the rumors flying around throughout the MMA community:

- Duffee may have upset the UFC and been hard to deal with. Back in May, the UFC's official Twitter said that Duffee’s former job was at Dairy Queen. Duffee tweeted back 'Yo find a new way to promote me I don’t find my misfortunes as funny as you might. Your sense of humor sucks'. You can’t go back and read this old tweet now though, because Duffee’s Twitter account has suddenly been deleted. Luckily, Maggie Hendricks over at Cagewriter caught a screen shot of it back in May.

- Perhaps Duffee upset the UFC by tweeting about how broke he was and that he needed a part-time job back in early August. The only proof we have of that now is via The Underground since his Facebook and Twitter no longer exist.

- Duffee was slated to star in the movie Never Back Down 2 and some are speculating that he claimed to have a knee injury in order to work on the film and after being examined by a UFC doctor he was found to be healthy so the UFC cut him for the injury fraud. This has not been proven, just another morsel of wild speculation.

- Let's make it clear. No one at MiddleEasy believes Todd Duffee has used steroids during the UFC or at any time in his life. We would never insinuate this. There’s no proof, however this is the generic theory that gets thrown out every time someone as massive as Duffee gets cut or sidelined by any MMA promotion.

- Duffee is a hitman and he will be used to take out the Strikeforce heavyweight champ. This one is way out there, but it is out there. Some have said that Dana White wants Duffee to get nabbed by Strikeforce and eventually take out Alistair Overeem and then Dana plans to bring both fighters to the UFC

- Duffee is the government’s secret weapon against an impending alien invasion. It is rumored that Duffee is really a humanoid robot named Robonaut 2 built by NASA and he is getting ready to leave on the Space Shuttle Discovery on November 1 to begin an alien fighting training mission on the space station. Dana White had no choice but to release him to ensure the continued existence of the human race. We're serious, this really is a rumor.

Everyone may have their own theory as to why Duffee received a career decapitation from the UFC, but for now, no one really knows. None of the above theories have been proven. Hopefully over the next few days Duffee, the UFC or NASA will give us an explanation regarding Duffee’s unexpected cut from the organization. Hopefully by then we can all rest knowing there is a humanoid robot keeping us safe from aliens that want to take over the earth and use their phytophantom laser missiles to obliterate the human race.

"I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't like Duffee's attitude. I don't like his attitude and I don't like some of the things he's said or done. He made it seem to me that he doesn't want to be in the UFC, like being here didn't matter to him and he didn't like it. You don't want to be in the UFC brother? Okay. We're working on long term stuff, where guys can live and fight under this brand forever and continue to make money, even after they retire. Being in the UFC is a very big thing for a fighter. Some guys 'get it' and appreciate it and some guys don't. The guys that don't, I don't have time for -- and you won't be around for long."
