In the cutthroat world of prize-fighting, it’s typically win or go home.
As such, a couple times per year the UFC goes on a mass termination spree, and purges their roster all at once.
In the latest round of cuts, 14 fighters now hit the open market as free agents, as the UFC has decided to not keep these men under contract.
Most notable on the list of cuts is UFC fan favorites Tom Lawlor and Gleison Tibau. The other fighters released are as follows.
Diego Rivas
Albert Morales
Mike Santiago
Eric Spicely
Damien Brown
Rob Wilkinson
James Bochnovic
Magnus Cedenblad
Oliver Enkamp
Marcel Fortuna
Vitor Miranda
Damian Grabowski
Each man will have no problem staying in the cage on either the regional or international circuits. Once you become a UFC veteran, you can always find work.
Good luck to all the men on the list.
