Former WEC lightweight champion, Jamie Varner has been speaking further about how he felt after getting cut from the Zuffa LLC. ranks explaining it felt just like when his girlfriend dumped him. Speaking via MMAFighting.com Varner said:
“When I got cut I felt like my girlfriend dumped me. I’ve been with Zuffa for five years. I dropped out of college. I’ve been chasing this dream, all in… I never said no to a fight. Whenever they asked me to fight, I fought.”
“There’s still some tread on these tires. There’s still some fights to be fought and some battles to be won. … I want to get back in the UFC and fight in the UFC.”
