Last weekend's event in the Apex produced various talk points, but very few positives.
There were several hunters who were strongly criticized for their versions at UFC Vegas 105 last Saturday evening.
Even Lerone Murphy was forced to defend his approach after five rounds with Josh Emmett in the biggest fight of his career to date.
Even the commentary cabin was not safe, with Michael Bisping Pushback received for his performance at night and now the dust has settled, a member of the selection has left.
While the will of Ode Osbourne could achieve great victories under pressure to keep their dreams alive, the same cannot be said for everyone.

Diana Belbita announces her departure from the UFC after 8 fights in the Achthoek
Diana Belbita separated far from the UFC after he was submitted by Dione Barbosa on UFC Vegas 105.
Her opponent insured her first version of the night bonus in her third outing in the Octagon after locking up an arm triangle in the first round.
Belbita debuted in the UFC in October 2019 and arrived with a pro-record of 13-4 who previously participated in the Polish promotion KSW.
She lost her debut to Molly McCann before she ran a second consecutive loss against Liana Jojua the following year.
'The Warrior Princess' ended her run in the Octagon with a record of 2-6 and won two unanimous decisions before a three combat loss streak, which loses to Karolina Kowalkiewicz and a rematch with McCann, things ended.
Some have stated that the next message on social media implies that Belbita is for good from MMA withdrawing instead of just leaving the UFC, but that is not clear at the moment.
“It was nice to fight at the highest level. I never even dared to dream that I would get there, but in the end I spent my last 6 years fighting for the best promotion in the world. It was a nice trip and I thought it was great. Now it's time for me to start a new chapter.”

Diana Belbita posted last month about Molly McCann's pension
The only opponent that Diana Belbita de Kooi shared was Molly McCann from Liverpool.
After McCann's retirement in London last month, both women served as book supports for each other's runs in the promotion with Belbita who posted the following message when her former enemy called time.
At only 28 years old, Belbita still has a lot of time in his hands if she wants to continue to compete outside the UFC.
She might have trouble finding her feet at the highest level, but 'The Warrior Princess' rode a profit reak of four fights before she bumped into Boston with 'Meatball' for the first time.
