Apparently Burt Watson’s UFC departure was not a friendly, amicable split. According to MMA journalist “Front Row Brian,” Watson parting ways with the UFC came after an incident between he and a member of Ronda Rousey’s camp.
FRB tweeted the following, detailing his knowledge of what transpired that led to Watson quitting the promotion after a 14-year run as the respected “Babysitter to the Stars.”

I was told by 1 source that Ronda is the only 1 they’d cross Burt for. Burt took a lot of pride in what he did &didn’t like to be questioned

There was an “incident” of sorts with Munoz but it was a separate incident and not serious compared to argument with Team Rousey. — FrontRowBrian® (@FrontRowBrian) March 4, 2015
