James Irvin (14-7) recently spoke with MMA Junkie about his possible release from the promotion after scoring his third consecutive loss in the company. Irvin has had a string of injuries and mishaps over his career, but remains upbeat about his future in the sport and is not worried about his potential release, "I'm not worried about it," Irvin said. "It's not going to crush me because I know they'll bring me back. I'm kind of a company man." "I'm not quitting fighting yet," Irvin said. "I've still got five more years, and I've got strong management behind me and good training partners to work with, so I'm going to keep going." If UFC brass release the Light Heavyweight, he intends on fighting in the smaller shows to build himself back up and re-enter to octagon, "I think I need to have two or three fights in smaller shows and then get back into it. I'd like to fight in three months if possible, or four at the latest."
