Austin Vanderford has called for the UFC release of his rival Nikolay Veretennikov after their scrap after the fight.
The former Bellator -Titel candidate, who was cornered by his wife Paige Vanzant, stopped Veretnikov in the second round of their collision in UFC Seattle. It was his first outing under the most famous banner of the sport, after the call to accept less than a week earlier.
His victory, however, was affected when his rival came across the ochthoek after the fight and pushed him, which led to a short fight. The couple was separated by UFC security, but it seems that after losing his cool, Verrikov might be on the outs.
Austin Vanderford believes that Nikolay Veretennikov should be fired after UFC Seattle Scrap
During his press conference after the fight, Vanderford was asked if he feels that the combination of the incident after the fight and the fact that he is now 0-2 could spell the end for Verennikov in the UFC. He seemed to be about the issue, but seemed to think that the time of his rival was on.
“I think it is difficult and for me there are no hard feelings,” Vanderford replied when he was asked if he thought his rival would be cut. “For me I know the sacrifices in what we do to go outside and to perform and the dreams and ambitions that we all have.
“So I feel for the man, but I mean, you go outside and get dominated and then throw such a fit? Yes, you probably don't deserve to be here. “
Dana White believes that after the fight scrap at UFC Seattle was not a big problem
After the incident, Dana White was asked in the press conference after the fight whether there were any similarities between IT and the UFC 113 incident between Paul Daley and Kosh Check. At the time, the Brit was exiled for life from the promotion after he had beaten his opponent after the fight.
“Paul Daley hit Koshcheck in the face,” White replied when he interviewed by reporters about what the next steps would be. “Listen, yes, it is never good if you go over it and I don't know why he went after him, I understand that he was angry with the referee.
“If you look at that fight, when you look, I get why he was up. He blocked a lot from the shots, he tried to get away there. As soon as the fight was over, listen when a man makes some unanswered shots and lies on the ground [then I understand].

“He was defensive and moved, so I understand why he was upset. But you know how we are here, he went and pushed the man, what should we do? What Paul Daley did was completely different; You just had three rounds of five minutes to hit this guy in the face and you couldn't. “
'So you're going to hit this guy after the fight if he doesn't expect it? That's why that was done. He went to him and pushed him, we are not those guys … you should see what is happening [backstage] Here after the fighting.
'You would cry forever if you knew what happened. You would write all kinds of stories and “what are you going to do to them?” Believe me, that was nothing. “
