It appears that another big name has left the offices of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Ever since the new owners of WME-IMG took over Ultimate Fighting Championship, the company has seen more officials and figureheads leave the company than ever before. Whether it was workers who slaved away at their desks behind the scenes or more recognizable television personalities like Mike Goldberg, the company has let a great deal of their employees go.
This time, however, a major name has left the company on their own accord. James Elliott, the Vice President and GM of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) has decided to resign from his position, leaving the important role open for the time being:
Proud of what we've achieved. Best fans, athletes and staff in the world. I arrived an employee, I left a fan. #UFC ?? pic.twitter.com/N01xgMQC2D

UFC has yet to release a statement on this major departure.
