UFC Reportedly Parts Ways With Fan Favorite After 16 Fights & 7 Post-Fight Bonuses

The UFC has reportedly released a fan-favorite fighter nicknamed 'Demolidor' after 16 fights and 7 post-fight bonuses with the promotion. The fighter went 1-4 in his last five outings, contributing to the decision to cut him from the roster. The news came in the same week as UFC 329, headlined by Conor McGregor's return fight against Max Holloway, which ended abruptly after 69 seconds due to a knee injury.
