As long as someone is exciting, they're safe. For example, there is no way lytle is going anywhere after that bloodbath against kos. the fans and dana white both want exciting fights. so if someone if providing those pretty consistently, everyone should be happy. also, if most of your wins are by decision, you are more likely to be cut after fewer losses than someone who does finish fights regularly. kenny florian finishes fights.







Put up good fights, you will stay.

even though lytle is only 4-8 in the ufc, he brings everything to the octago every single time he fights, and its not like he lost to a bunch of nobodys. lytle lost to great competition like lawler, serra, hughes, koscheck, riggs, and alves.

I hear a lot about how some UFC fighters should be kicked out of the UFC after they lose a match in horrible fashion, or if they lose 2 fairly competitive matches to sub-par competition, or are just plain inconsistent, but it never appears to be consistent. I always heard that there was a 3 loss rule that constituted on getting the boot from the UFC, but it is now not necessarily true. The 3 loss rule is the criteria that I use when constituting whether or not to be kicked out of the UFC.

-EDIT- Clicked enter before I was done with the poll. Egh..

Anyway, I know that it usually determines how the fight goes, how marketable, other ongoing actions etc...

Here are a few names that I've heard that should be kicked out of the UFC.

Jorge Gurgel - Unbelievably is 3-3 in the UFC.
Alessio Sakara- Is 3-4-1 in the UFC
Chris Lytle- 4-8 in the UFC
Jason Lambert - 4-3 in the UFC
Pete Sell- 0-4 in the UFC

What do you think? Personally, I think most of these are gatekeepers and I think are great for the UFC.



I don't think any of these guys are gatekeepers. They should all be out if the UFC.
