Not at all. There was Samy Schiavo, Mickael Lebout and Thibault Gouti out just from the top of my head. Pretty sure there were others too

Edit: Benoît Saint-Denis and Tom Duquesnoy too how could I forget

I think no one from Fernan Lopez's team is getting signed anymore. They had a conflict with Ali Abdelaziz and since then the UFC seems to have iced them

 

[HaulParris]

Knowing UFC, instead of putting him on the upcoming Sydney card or a future Paris card, they'll put him on the Apex the week before or a Montana card the week after.

Isn't the name 'du plessis' of french origin ?
