UFC Drops 6 Fighters From Its Roster In Final 2024 Sweep
In a shocking turn of events, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has released six fighters from its roster in a move that highlights the ever-changing landscape of the mixed martial arts (MMA) industry. This sudden exodus comes as a surprise to fans and critics alike, given the ongoing talent drain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As reported earlier today, Jack Shore, a 24-year-old featherweight fighter, has announced his retirement due to a loss of love and motivation for competing. With a career record of 17-3, this decision comes as a shock to fans who have grown accustomed to seeing him dominate in the Octagon.
On the other hand, we have Jared Gooden, another featherweight fighter, whose recent weight-cutting struggles have led to his removal from the roster. The 31-year-old has missed weight three times during his tenure with the UFC and will likely have difficulty finding a new home due to his inability to make weight.
The remaining four fighters, including Marc-Andre Barriault, Sedriques Dumas, Joaquin Buckley, Alessio Di Chirico, and Denis Tiuliulin, were either released or had their contracts terminated by the organization.
