Dana White Answers Criticisms Over Roster Cuts

UFC President Dana White has answered criticisms from some fans regarding roster cuts at a UFC 84 press conference today.

White responded to comments by explaining that UFC fighters are the best in the worl;d, so people who start to lose need to go and prove themselves and come back again with a few wins under their belts.

Here is a quote from Dana:

"It's nothing abnormal at all. At the end of the day, the UFC, like I say all the time, it's the place where all the best fighters in the world fight. And after you lose a few, or whatever, you have to go back down and get some wins and come back.The guys who are really dedicated to this sport, and they make the cut, they go and get more wins under their belt and end up coming back. I can't keep everybody under contract because the way that we do our contracts, depending if you're one of our big stars, we'll have you locked up for six or eight fights, or whatever it might be. They're under long-term contracts.Other guys that are trying to make their way up to be Sean Sherks or B.J.s, or whatever it is, they're under a three-fight deal, or a two-fight deal. Some of them are under one-fight deals. It depends."
