Burt Watson har sedan en lång tid tillbaka arbetat hos UFC, då han har varit en av de som tagit hand om alla fighters inför deras matcher. Nu ryktas det om att han har lämnat organisationen, och att han inte ens stannade kvar för att se Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano under UFC 184. Så här skrevs det via twitter:
This will come as shocking to some… The legendary ”Babysitter to the Stars” @BurtWatson4real has QUIT the UFC. Waiting on details why.

At the UFC 184 weigh ins, Burt wasn’t announced by @joerogan. He always introduced along with Dana, Lorenzo, Joe Silva, Bruce Buffer

Another source said Burt usually coordinates shuttle service for fighters back to airport morning after fights. He was not present this AM.

It’s very strange. Neglecting Mark Munoz? He has coaches doesn’t he? Story doesn’t even make sense and Burt won’t answer anyone’s texts
