Oluwale Bamgbose is apparently no longer part of the UFC roster, and he doesn’t appear to be concerned about burning bridges on his way out.
Bamgbose (6-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC), who suffered a brutal knockout loss to Alessio Di Chirico (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 26 this month to extend his skid to three fights, announced today on social media that he no longer has a working relationship with the UFC.
“The Holy War Angel” had more to add, though, ripping the company for unfair treatment, poor fighter pay and causing him to lose his passion for the sport (via Twitter):
So its official I am no longer apart of the @ufc organization. Not gonna lie, I fell out of love for it for obvious reasons. One being a target of unfair treatment multiple times & 2nd the organization not taking care of its fighters financially. @danawhite F*CK U! #MmaComeBack??
Bamgbose, 30, made some strong statements in his release post. However, he did not cite any examples of his alleged mistreatment by the UFC.
Following his defeat at UFC on FOX 26, Bamgbose expressed criticism toward fans of the sport for how they treat fighters after a loss (via Twitter):
He reiterated similar sentiments again today:
For u fans who have something negative to say, who wouldnt last a second in my shoes SHUT THE F*CK UP! My block game strong& ur opinion doesnt matter to me bc u cant judge a life uve never lived. I’d rather hear it from my colleagues than u scum bag low life idiots. F*ck the @ufc
