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.
