I can see why Pride dropped him. He's lost his heart. Pride dropped him because Heath fell apart as a fighter after losing to Nogiuera and then getting DESTROYED by Fedor. Something about those two fights changed something in Heath. I didn't follow his K-1 career. Zuffa, Inc. must be mad as hell considering the money they laid out in advertising for Heath. Wow.
Unfortunately, I expect that a similar thing will happen with Rampage. Pride let him go after his two Chutebox losses. He had no heart either.
On another note, how lame has the UFC undercard become??? Its like watching amateur hour which would be OK except I have to keep listening to Joe Rogan calling every fighter world class...when he said, "Hermes Franca Vs. Spencer Fisher are two of the best fighters in the world..." I almost barfed. Who and who???
As far as I'm concerned, the Heath Herring fight represents the second "debacle" for UFC recently. The first being Rich Franklin's POUNDING.
