Bryan Battle isn’t making any excuses for back-to-back weight misses.
After failing to make weight for a welterweight conflict in opposition to Randy Brown in December, ‘The Butcher’ moved as much as middleweight to attempt to mitigate the tough weight reduce. Sadly, that plan backfired.
Battle weighed in at 190 kilos for a scheduled scrap in opposition to Nursulton Ruziboev, 4 kilos over the non-title combat restrict. Consequently, the combat was scrapped, and Battle was handed his release.
Whereas Battle isn’t significantly fascinated by listening to what all of the haters on-line should say about his weigh-in gaffe, the Missouri native isn’t providing any excuses for the second straight miss.
“I positively knew that it was a chance,” Battle instructed MMA Fighting when requested about being launched by the UFC. “I positively thought it was one thing that would occur and, you already know, it was justified. It’s not one thing I’m gonna [expletive] alone about in any respect. However I’m not gonna lie, I assumed they weren’t going to chop me. I didn’t suppose that was gonna occur. However that’s what occurred. And that’s a results of my very own actions. So now we’re on to the subsequent factor.”
Because it seems, the subsequent factor shall be a little bit of Dirty Boxing.
