Ultimate Fighting Championship<\/a> matchmaker this past weekend, Delorme decided to follow suit today releasing the following information on his official Facebook page.<\/p>\n\u201dDecember 4 I had my first fight in the UFC. After I won I asked Joe Silva if he needed me in January cause it was my birthday, my daughters first birthday and Christmas. Plus new years and I just wanted to take rest of month off but if you need me I\u2019ll stay in the gym.\u201d Roland Delorme explained. \u201cHe (Joe Silva) said \u2018I dont need you\u2019, I said \u2018ok\u2019. Then he calls me December 28 and offers me a fight in two weeks. I said no I couldnt even make the weight if i wanted to and we already had this talk. So cause I said no they put me on the shelf for six months, and waited till I was starving and broke before offering a fight on two weeks notice against a killer. Thats how ufc does business. Your just cattle to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
