It's definitely Mousasi. At the time of his departure from the UFC, he was on a 5-fight winning streak, all against ranked opponents. He KO'd the last 4 opponents over a span of 9 months. Has anybody else in UFC history KO'd 4 ranked opponents in 9 months? It has been 5 years since his departure and he is still one of the Top 3 middleweights in the world.
Bader is another one. He went 18-5 in the UFC and was consistently ranked in the Top 5, including at the time of his departure.

I linked to this already. 99.9% of their contracts have this.Only if the contract states this. Of course they probably have a set of standard clauses in all contracts including the ability to drop a fighter at any time.
Seems like the UFC is great at letting guys go who you thought they shouldn't. I'm too drunk to care right now but Pettis was one. Not saying he was a huge loss but losing to Collard was bad. Name others because there is a few. Rory was a bad loss IMO.
I'm still mad over them dropping Fitch. He was the solid #2 in the division for a long time, and they just cut him cause of his style. He was "boring" but effective, and they knew he was gonna knock other contenders out of the mix. The cut was 100% based on sales.
He beat him with one eye, lol.No he didn't, and then he got his ass handed to him by Shlemenko.
