From Czech Media:

It's over. The Czech MMA fighter David Dvořák unexpectedly ends his journey in UFC, where he has been active since 2020 and had six fights.
The reason for his early exit from UFC is due to differences between him and the elite competition over fight dates and his health.

Dvořák's end comes as a surprise. Although he had three defeats overseas, it was expected that he would have one more fight, which will give a hint about his future. But the decisive fight would not happen, his journey through the prestigious competition ended after six fights.

"I'm not part of the UFC anymore, it's official. It was a great experience for me. We had a lot of adventures, a lot of travels, wins, losses, a lot of joys and disappointments, just all that was there and now a new journey will start again, which I'm really looking forward to," David Dvořák said in his video.

"They sent me several dates for matches without taking into account my health and other circumstances. After long discussions with my manager Patrik Kincl, we decided it was time to move on, we terminated the contract and went our own way," Dvořák added that he eventually parted ways with the UFC voluntarily.

"I believe you enjoy my fights and will continue to enjoy my fights because I want to fight for many more years. I'm going to take care of all my aches and pains and come back in style. Maybe one day I'll come back to the UFC, but for now I'm planning other things."
 
I guess he is going to OKTAGON as they are developing their flyweight division
 
Records deceiving
He had very competitive fights against top guys
Maybe but losing is losing, if you drop 3 straight, especially as a smaller guy, your head is going to be on the block.

Nature of the beast.

Don't really remember any of his fights, pretty forgettable flyweight.

His coach and team members are active fighters... and i dont think that its really good preparation for FLW be helping with preparation of MW and etc... - main reason of loses in my opinion.

+ He declined numerous of fight offers because his buddies had fight or were injured...

Also he had long term injury. So it was absolutely obvious that they will release him.

lol at the UFC releasing ranked fighters in already shallow divisions. what a joke promotion.
What are they to do if he asks for a release? He wasn't even taking the fights offered to him either, due to health issues and such, so he quite literally was not a factor in the division anymore.

Why constantly pair guys vs top 10 opponents if they're on the verge of being cut, yet they keep cans on the roster with worse records and proven skill? It's moronic, don't defend it.

That's not what happened here though, they were keen on giving him another fight after his string of losses, but he kept declining due to his health issues which lead to his asking for a release. Erceg also was supposed to be that reprieve from fighting contenders, especially due to Steve's short-notice, they couldn't have foreseen him getting beat like that.

There's plenty of things to shit on the UFC for, this isn't one of them.
 
Fair enough.

Needed to get in there and score a big win, but the Taira fight fell through unfortunately.
