Bloody Elbow - Pound-for-Pound the Best in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Commentary, News and Community

Following his split decision loss to Dan Miller at UFC 124 last weekend, Joe Doerksen has been released by the UFC according to Five Ounces of Pain.

Doerksen went 2-8 over his entire UFC career, and was 1-2 in his most recent three-fight stint.

One judge away from being 2-1 and still with the UFC. Sucks.

Joe Doerksen brings it every time, he's an exciting highly experienced fighter. I think Strikeforce should pick him up.

Agreed. When Joe fights I know for sure he's coming to throw down, no if's and's or but's.

The UFC will come calling again in April for Toronto.

first time for everything...Nah its too bad but kinda seen it coming

Too bad, win or lose, he always comes to fight.

Just looking at his record, and here are some of the people he beat:

Lee Murray, Denis Kang, Anthony Macias (somewhat impressive), Ed Herman, Patrick Cote, Tom Lawlor

Not a big fan of any fighter being let go after they fight a real close fight and lose by a Split decision.

This year he fought in April, May and June. He is a game fighter that any organization would be happy to have.

I would love to see him fight anywhere....back in Japan at Sengoku or in Canada maybe with the MFC or in the states in Bellator, KOTC or Strikeforce.

Mac Danzig is 2-4 in his last 6 and just got a big fight bonus and I am sure

Mac probably made $24,000 to show and $13k or $14k to win. (UFC 115 numbers) You could have Joe Doerkson fight another Joe Doerkson and he would still be cheaper than Mac Danzig.

Joe's last 3 fights have been far more entertaining than Danzig's last 3-4 fights.

Poor Joe...hope he comes back.

... uuuuntil the next time they need to fill a fight on a Canadian card

Also usually enjoy Joe's fights, but not sure why you are bringing up Danzig, I would argue, that win or lose, Danzig also almost always puts on a good show. There are a lot more other fighters that I would be complaining about/mentioning instead of Danzig.
