News UFC cuts latest round of fighters including Matt Wiman and 4 others

[Gio]

The UFC has released Wiman, plus light heavyweights Gadzhimurad Antigulov and Saparbek Safarov, bantamweight Cole Smith, and featherweight Eduardo Garagorri.

Wiman fought in the promotion exclusively since then, racking up a 10-8 overall record in 19 fights in the Octagon. Unfortunately, after losing by slam KO to Jordan Leavitt, Wiman has been cut.

Others were Gadzhirmuad Antigulov, who had a 2-4 UFC record; Saparbek Safarov, who had a 1-3 UFC record; Cole Smith, who went 1-2; and Eduardo Garagorri, who went 1-2 as well. This latest round of roster cuts is another reminder for all the fighters on the roster who are coming off of a loss that they could be at risk of being released as the promotion looks to pare down its roster as 2020 ends.

Man, if I had enough money I'd start an MMA promotion and call it "NOT UFC"
Then immediately employ every cut UFC fighter under the age of 30 and see what happens.

Dude that villante guy must have some major pull behind the scenes

 

[Bboy]

Nothing shocking. I expected Gadzhimurad Antigulov to perform better.

Matt Wiman wasnt cut he was retired.
Im surprised they didnt just bury him under the octagon after that slam.

 

[Adamant]

Never heard of any of them.

Lower pay to 5k - 2k for signing current fighters cut from the Ufc

I believe Bellator already owns that trademark.

All these cuts make sense. Antigulov's UFC career was particularly disappointing.

Safarov gone too.....


This is surely freeing up a Russian slot for Kerimov.

My prediction : several people watching also "beat it off" simultaneously.

Garagorri is legit. Bellator will sign him by the middle of January

What happens is you probably wouldn’t have enough money for long.

I think so too. And I hope so

None of these are surprising cuts, I'm happy with all to be honest.
