Let's remind that on September 4 on the UFC Fight Night tournament 28 Yushins lost a technical knockout to Ronaldo Sousa in the first round and I tore off a series of victories from three fights with Buddy Roberts, Alan Belcher and Hector Lombardom.  Yushin carried out to UFC of 7 years, and during this time fought 18 times (5 defeats). 

In interview to Yahoo Sports the president of UFC Dana White told why they made this decision.

"We had it eternity. He always was the strong guy, but he became a gatekeeper. I like Okami and you heard from me a set of times as I said that the victory over it means much. However Yushin never could win in one of these important fights. Many new guys who deserve came to our organization to have opportunities. Our roaster is overflowed. If we invite someone, someone has to leave. That is why these fights are so important. If Okami starts winning in other organizations, we can invite him back. We always will have this opportunity".
