I think it should be obligatory every time a fighter gets cut from the UFC they have to give a farewell speech, whether it be at a makeshift press conference or in a 500+ word document like Ben Saunders here.

Miguel Torres received a nasty cut in his forehead during his most recent fight at WEC 47 against Joseph Benavidez.

Out of UFC 111. I got a huge [...]

Running the top MMA promotion in the world is not an easy task. It often means clearing out the fighters who can not carry their weight, to make room for fresh talent, and give someone else the opportunity to prove to the world they belong among the sport’s elite athletes.
