And Now They’re Fired: UFC 122 Edition Featuring Peter Sobotta and Goran Reljic

(Goodbye sweet princes. We hardly knew you.)

It looks like UFC 122 fighters Peter Sobotta and Paul Taylor and TUF 9 winner James Wilks before losing in the same manner to TUF 7 winner, Amir Sadollah in his last bout in the Octagon.

Reljic’s UFC career was also spoiled by a trio of TUF vets including season 7 runner-up CB Dollaway and season 3 winner Kendall Grove. The loss to the latter prompted the Croation fighter to move back up to light heavyweight for his last fight with season 8 semi-finalist Krzysztof Soszynski, which he lost by unanimous decision on Saturday.

The 26-year-old won Fight of the Night honors in 2008 in his UFC debut in which he defeated Wilson Gouveia by TKO at UFC 84.

Damn, was a huge fan of Reljic after the Gouveia fight, it think he got Nate quarried by that back surgery. He just looked so drained in his past few appearances. Good luck mang

Isn't Bellator doing a 205 tourney next season? He'd actually be kinda perfect for that.

I got a feeling Reljic will be back and may even be a contender at some point.

I never understood Reljic's ill-fated run at 185, or anybody who drops in weight coming off a win.

Goran was more focused on being the new Aquaman than he was training for his fights.

No shame in losing to K-Sos since the dude is massive for his first fight back at 205, but Dollaway at 185....come on man!

On the chopping block for ufc 123: tyson griffin needs a win lost last two fights to good fighters but considered underdogs, matt brown and paul kelly need BIG wins. But if the ufc didnt cut ortiz or even worse petruzelli i cant see them cutting griffin or brown

Good riddance..no room for lack lusters in the ufc. Reljic had potential but hasnt looked good since he fought Gouveia. Petruzelli and Osipczak should get the boot aswell IMO
