Ben Saunders May Be Out of the UFC for Now, But His Mind Is Right

Ben Saunders - Out But Not Down

Ben Saunders was released from his UFC contract, but judging by his response to that news on this Twitter account, Saunders is keeping the right frame of mind a positive attitude:

“Sorry everyone I tried to fight my best these past two fights but ended up getting out worked.

The UFC has officially cut me: the good news is they told me to work on my wrestling and ground game and then come back. So that is all I am going to be doing, improving dramatically and show them I belong.

It was an honor to fight for the UFC and I will make it back into the mix in due time.

No one ever said my dream of getting that belt would be easy, in fact I was denied it as even a possibility and told I was crazy since I was a kid. Look how far I have gone feeding off the doubters and haters.

It just makes me that much more hungry. I’ll be back! There isn’t a doubt in my mind.

Much respect to Swick, Fitch, and Hallman as they were the better men on those nights and have my full respect. To fight such names is a true honor. Now to continue my journey like a Ronin searching for the battle that awaits me; it will come and I will be ready. Till then I will not stop training and improving myself as a martial artist and human being. Life is nothing but a long term learning experience. I have learned enough to consider myself a veteran… now to continue my progress and look towards what the future holds for me, staying positive in negative times has been the hardest tests I have ever faced but I have been through harder times and have fought my way through; this is no different

To Joe Silva, Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, and the whole staff of the UFC it was good times and I look forward to seeing you all again in the future.”

Roll up on one of these and be prepared to talk […]
