Eight fighters are no longer on the UFC roster, including two athletes who were with the promotion approximately a decade each. Whether it was the impending wave of fighters who will be signed to compete on “ Dana White’s Contender Series,” Season 7 or simply performance or contract-based decisions, the promotion parted ways with these fighters in recent weeks. Algorithm-based Twitter account UFC Roster Watch first published the transactions when the promotion removed the fighters from official rankings eligibility. Unless denoted, it is unclear whether each athlete was released or fought out their contract.

UFC’s Omar Morales feels duty to represent Venezuela as athletics struggle in ongoing crisis

BAD MMA News — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 02:22:57 +0000

UFc featherweight Omar Morales knows Venezuela has much more to give to MMA than what fans have been able to witness so far. Born in Caracas, Morales is a pioneer for his home country, as he’s one of the very few Venezuelans to have reached the pinnacle of the sport. Morales (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is just the third Venezuelan-born fighter to set foot in the UFC octagon and one of two current active UFC fighters from the South American nation – Veronica Macedo being the other. It hasn’t been easy for Morales to carve out a path coming from Venezuela. And there’s a reason why he’s a trailblazer in a sport that many consider mainstream, at least in the U.S. “There’s good sportsmen, good athletes, but the economical situation that the country is going through just makes it harder and harder to be able to work on your craft and be able to leave and make your name known,” Morales told MMA Junkie in Spanish .
