UFC NEWS: Welterweight Kenny Robertson cut after UFC 126 loss to Mike Pierce

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

It's becoming a very cutthroat world in the UFC, as multiple published reports state that welterweight Kenny Robertson is out of the organization after just one fight.

Robertson, who made his UFC debut at UFC 126 this past Saturday, entered the organization with a perfect 10-0 record, but suffered a TKO loss to Mike Pierce on the preliminary card.

According to his manager Nick Thompson, in comments made to MMAWeekly.com, stated that Roberts is looking to get back into action soon and that they are already negotiating with several top promotions.

Penick's Analysis: This is a surprising cut considering it was the first loss he's ever suffered, but losing decisively on the unaired preliminary card doesn't do a fighter any favors. It's all about winning right now in the UFC, and unless you have an established name or run in the organization, you'll have very little leeway in terms of losing fights. Robertson wasn't the first, and he won't be the last, but hopefully for him he can get back on track and make his way back to the big show eventually.
