UFC Releases Several Fighters From Their Roster
by Anton Tabuena on Jun 4, 2012 2:00 PM EDT in UFC News
Following recent losses in the past few months, the UFC has decided to release several fighters from their roster. Among those confirmed to have been cut by the promotion were Dongi Yang, Kamal Shalorus, Jorge Lopez, and Jeff Curran who all suffered defeats at last month's UFC on Fuel TV event.
Others also confirmed to have been let go are Aaron Rosa (lost 2 out of 3), Efrain Escudero (2 straight losses), and former WEC Champion, Steve Cantwell (5 straight losses).
While not yet announced, a few other fighters has had their profiles at UFC.com removed, which usually signals being cut from the promotion. Here are the following:
- Alex Soto (2 straight losses, also lost at the same UFC on Fuel TV event)
- Eric Wisely (2 straight losses)
- Mike Massenzio (2 straight losses)

Kind of surprised about Dongi Yang. He's only lost twice and he's been in some really exciting fights. Plus, his loss to McGee is questionable, that fight coulda gone either way.
Anyways, they really cleaned house. Two losses is enough to send you packin these days.

some of these guys didnt even lose 2 in a row, but just 2 out of 3. i'm not too disappointed by any of the cuts, but i always hate people lose their jobs.

So much talent out there with the sport growing so fast. StrikeForce or Bellator needs to start gobbling up the talent or another organization might be able to gain some ground.
