And Now He’s Fired: Seth Petruzelli

 
(You’ll still always be “The Kimbo Killer” to me, Seth.)

It looks like the post-UFC 122 cuts just keep coming. 

Five Ounces of Pain is reporting that Seth Petruzelli has been dropped by the UFC after being finished for the second time in as many fights in his most recent stint in the Octagon.

30-year-old Petruzelli (12-6 MMA, 0-4 UFC), who lost by TKO to Karlos Vemola at the event in Oberhausen, Germany 10 days ago and was also submitted  by Ricardo Romera at UFC 116 in July in his first fight back since being dropped by the promotion originally in 2007 joins fellow UFC 122 losers Peter Sobotta and Goran Reljic on the unemployement line. Both fighters were also given their pink slips by the promotion because of their respective three-fight losing skids.

Based on his entertaining persona and his claim to fame of being the first fighter since Sean Gannon to handle backyard brawler turned MMA fighter, Kimbo Slice, “The Silverback” will likely not be unemployed long.

As least he’ll have Tom Lawlor to console him.
