HE works his way to a title shot, and AA knock him out with 1 punch, and they get rid of him. He is now fighting smaller shows because of a KO by AA? Pride always has been good at building fighters up. UFC should really take a look at that.

The UFC did not get rid of Buentello. He received a better offer so he went with it. The UFC is definitely guilty of not paying their fighters well, but i don't think they get rid of quality fighters all that often.
