Maldonado perplexed at UFC cut: 'I helped them many times'
Fabio Maldonado - Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY SportsFabio Maldonado disagrees with his UFC release, discussing what he did wrong and potential future endeavors.
Still sad about his release from the UFC, Brazilian brawler Fabio Maldonado just can't put together why the company would let him go. As he told Globo Esporte, he first heard the news about a couple of weeks ago and still hoped it wouldn't come true.
"I heard of it about 15 days ago, but I thought it wasn't going to happen. I was thinking some heavyweight was going to get hurt and I would step in. I kind of saw it coming, but I wasn't expecting it. I'm sad, but I'm 35 and I have other activities."
