The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the pinnacle of mixed martial arts. Their roster consists of over four-hundred men and women all fighting for the same prize: The championship of their respective divisions. Some fighters are prepared to storm to the top of their weight class, but others are at a point in their career where they may not have realized their full potential. Often is the case that UFC decides to part ways with them for them to continue their journeys elsewhere.
It appears as if Li Jingliang’s path to the top of welterweight division has been cut short, as he has been removed from the roster according to UFC Fighters Info:
