Michihiro Omigawa (0-3) 3L

Joe Stevenson (8-7) 3L

Brandon Vera (7-6) 3L

Steve Cantwell (4-4) 3L

Tito Ortiz (14-8-1) 3L

Matt Brown (4-4) 3L

Who is in trouble?

Tyson Griffin (7-5) 3L- the drop to LW might buy him 1 more fight, as long as his next fight is competitive.

Dan Hardy (4-3) 3L - Dana said he "loves that kid". So he will get atleast 1 more fight, probably a winnable one.

Kris McCray (0-3) 3L- seeeeeee ya

Michihiro Omigawa (0-3) 3L- Dana needs Japanese fighters, won't get cut...yet

Joe Stevenson (8-7) 3L- should get a winnable fight.

Brandon Vera (7-6) 3L- the fact that he was already cut answers this question

Steve Cantwell (4-4) 3L- took an awful ass whoopin, I think he is gone

Tito Ortiz (14-8-1) 3L- lose to Bader and he is done

Matt Brown (4-4) 3L- will get atleast 1 more chance.

Griffin got boned by the judges in his last fight

Tyson Griffin (7-5) 3L - Got hosed in his last fight and DW knows it

Dan Hardy (4-3) 3L - A top British fighter, but if he doesn't improve hsi TD defense and ground game he is done after the next

Kris McCray (0-3) 3L - Demoted to SF

Michihiro Omigawa (0-3) 3L - Still a big name in Japan, gets another chance

Joe Stevenson (8-7) 3L - On the verge of a demotion to SF

Brandon Vera (7-6) 3L - Should be demoted to SF

Steve Cantwell (4-4) 3L - Time for the fork

Tito Ortiz (14-8-1) 3L - will retire or be demoted to SF if he loses his next...which he will

Matt Brown (4-4) 3L - Hasn't looked good lately, needs to get into the fight or call it a night.

yeah just demote the rejects to the B league, good call Dana.

Yeah griffin got screwed last fight. He'll be top 10 at fw in about a year.

Tyson Griffin (7-5) 3L The Move to FW helps him, I could actually see him losing then still getting another fight after that.

Dan Hardy (4-3) 3L Tough call, I could def see him gone after another loss, even if GSP is one of them. No clue with their thinking on Hardy though with his British appeal.

Kris McCray (0-3) 3L Surprised it hasn't been reported yet...

Michihiro Omigawa (0-3) 3L At least 2 more fights, he just came back.

Joe Stevenson (8-7) 3L At least 1 more

Brandon Vera (7-6) 3L I'd say possible 2 for Vera with the failed drug test from Thiago.

Steve Cantwell (4-4) 3L At least 1 more, he had injury issues, they'll give him another chance.

Tito Ortiz (14-8-1) 3L Thought him and Bader might be fighting? No? but at least 1 more, then retirement before getting cut.

Matt Brown (4-4) 3L Hmm? Wasn't he schedled to have a fight then pulled out? I'd say at least 1 more.

Who is in trouble?

Omigawa has three straight losses? He was on a nice winning streak before the Mendes fight. I doubt they are holding his last UFC tenture at a different weight class in high regard when he has had some strong wins(although his 2 biggest wins in Japan very questionable) at FW.

White thought Griffin got robbed in his last fight. SAFE.

They'll give Hardy a mickey in England to have an excuse to keep him, they like their brits. He'll stick around.

Joe, Vera, Tito will get another shot to right the ship.

McCray, Cantwell, Brown...Cya

In the UFC....but agree he's safe and hope he wins his next fight, want to see him do well.

McCray and Cantwell is gone, Ortiz, Vera, Hardy, and Stevenson are gone with another loss

McCray and Cantwell is gone, Ortiz, Vera, Brown Hardy, and Stevenson are gone with another loss

See I think Cantwell coming off the layoff and injury gets another chance, he was WEC Champ right?

and IFC wasnt he?

Moving some of these guys over to SF makes alot of sense.

Hardy really stands out(and Vera to a lesser extent). Big personality, exciting fight style,brit, 3 fight losing streak, help fill a soft SF division.

I'd look to do it sooner then later.

I hope Matt Brown wins his next fight because he is always in good fights win or lose.
