Alright, maybe the hashtag hasn’t taken over social media just yet. But many fans, including myself, are scratching their heads over UFC heavyweight Martin Buday not being re-signed. He just beat Marcus Buchecha, strung together three wins, and holds a 7-1 UFC record. Ranked No. 12, no less!

Sure, Buday’s absence might not shake the UFC’s financials, especially with new Contender Series contracts on the horizon. Still, it’s a shame. A 33-year-old in a division craving talent gets dropped just like that? The UFC’s supposed to host the best, right? And Buday is pretty darn good.

Check out the top reader comments on Buday’s exit below. Let’s get that hashtag trending! Plus, catch more reactions to this week’s hottest stories.
