Charlie took to Twitter this morning, to make his fans aware of the change in his career path. I reached out to him, and got a short interview for our readers. Here's what he had to say:

"Basically, I realized after my last fight that I wasn't in a good situation. A week had passed, and yesterday I got a call from my manager/trainer, Mike Constantino. He just said it as succinctly as possible, which is how I prefer it, 'It's not good, you're cut.'

There's nothing really to say. I kind of made my own bed, and I hope to get another chance. I lost to Kyle Noke, and when someone says, 'You got caught early', I have to counter that by saying that I shouldn't have left him the opening to hit me. That's just the way it goes.

I'm not closing the book on anything. The UFC is where I want to be, and it's where I will be again. I give up a lot to fight. I don't live with my wife. I live in New Jersey so I can devote myself to training, when all my family lives in Pennsylvania. It's not a question of drive and passion. I have plenty of that. When that drive naturally expires, then I'll think about stopping."

I thought the stoppage was kind of weak sauce in the Noke fight, but he has not looked good since knocking the Rick Story train off the tracks. He needs to up his all around game. Being a good wrestler is all good and well, but eventually they to need to develop more to their game just like the BJJ guys and strikers have to if they plan to stick around. Too predictable.

I like that he is taking ownership of the situation and not just sitting there saying "I got caught, it happens to everyone".I'm not knocking guys who do get caught, but if he would have said that when he's 2-3 in his last 5 and all three losses coming by first round finish that just doesn't cut it anymore. I hope to see him back eventually.

I think he is still worthy of a roster spot. Maybe he can get in on that 1st season of Bellator on SPIKE. They are already saving Lima, Saunders and Daley for that tourney. Adding Charlie would be a nice fit.

Looks like we can add these guys to the cut list also. Eiji Mitsuoka (0-2 in the UFC), Michihiro Omigawa (1-6), Tommy Hayden (0-2) and Walel Watson (0-2).
