The UFC Giveth and it Taketh away!
Several fighters went missing on the UFC website list of roster yesterday, spurning speculation of their release. Typically when a fighter gets removed from the website it a precursor to them officially being released from the UFC.
Nothing has been announced by the UFC as of yet, but the list of fighter possibly released is lengthy. A total of 10 fighters were removed, all are coming off a loss and most or riding losing streaks.
Steve Cantwell – He started his UFC career with a nasty submission win against Razak Al-Hassan three and a half years ago and hasn’t won since. The former WEC light heavyweight champion has lost an astonishing five fights in a row.
Alex Soto – His last fight was at UFC on Fuel TV: Korean Zombie vs. Poirier, losing to Francisco Rivera by unanimous decision. Soto has lost both of his UFC bouts.
