UFC Fighter Signed On Four Days Notice Cut After Withdrawing Before UFC Vegas 102

Mashrabjon Ruziboev — younger brother of UFC Welterweight, Nursulton Ruziboev — was released from his contract, which he received when he stepped on four-day notice to fight Jared Gordon earlier this month.

Starman is losing to bums now, no surprise on his release.

Any actual references for these cuts?

They're not on the roster picks game on the UFC site which is usually accurate.

Lapilus is a ridiculous cut. Guy is top 30 in the world.

Pearce and Culibao I think are harsh too.

 

[irimiasz]

Do they have some problems with Lapilus? It’s a second time this guy has been cut after a win, crazy.

 

[Trupsi]

Now come on, this can't be true !! That'd be the 2nd time they cut Taylor while being 3-1.

 

[IvanDrago2.0]

Who was released ? Won’t make a difference really lol

 

[gentel]

WTF THEY CUT CULIBAO???

 

[fortheo]

Cutting lapilus again would be crazy unless he did something heinous behind the scenes that we don't know about.

 

[snugglecakes]

Lapilus cut is weird. May as well let this be a warning that winning a decision may as well be a loss.

8 fights in UFC, 7 decisions. Not saying it's deserved, but I doubt he is a draw.
Edit.

Lapilus was not technically cut, he went at the end of his contract
I guess they offered 12+12 or 24+24 and he knows it's one of his last contracts, thus he has to go for the money
From what I've heard, he has been discussing with KSW and Oktagon for a few months
By the way, he just switched his management team from a football management team to Ali Abdelaziz. So maybe he wants to join the PFL

Edit.

He might be tbh. He gets some of the loudest crowd reactions on the France cards at least.

Joe Solecki - was really a one-dimensional BJJ guy, never amounted to much.

Dylan Budka - was crap, to be honest. Surprised they signed him off a decision win on DWCS.

Warlley Alves - had a long stint, didn't look good in ages though.

Mashrabjon Ruziboev - kind of understandable, I'm always a little suss of guys who sign short notice then pull out (like they've just got their foot in the door and had no intention of taking that fight).

Jonathan Pearce - had a brief spell of looking okay, but poor overall record.

Josh Culibao - little surprised at this one, usually a fun fighter.

Taylor Lapilus - they just don't seem to like this guy much, given how he left previously on top of this.

Cody Stamann - was good at one point, not anymore.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Wait why Culibao? That makes no sense at all. He's 30

I demand an explanation for this one.

 

[sonhow]

Doesnt matter what Lapilus does he always gets cut. Reminds me of ufc game where I win 5 in a row but ill end up getting cut because the game was developed in dumb way. So basically the same as real life.

Probably because he's 3-4-1 and on three fight losing streak. Close losses and to mostly good opposition, but still that bad of a streak leaves you in a very vulnerable position if you are not a draw of some sort.

 

[Bubzeh]

Just repeating what's been said but Taylor was good - hope he gets a better deal elsewhere.

Yeah his record doesn't look great at 3-4-1.

But there is context to it. A majority of people think he won his last fight, there's also arguments for him winning the Silva fight (especially as Silva missed weight badly) and the Jourdain Draw.

Would put his record at 6-2-0, so it's a shame.

Solecki retired
Alves has an awful losing streak
Ruziboev was signed on short notice but ended up being too heavy to fight Jared Gordon. If you pull out of the first fight, you are cut or contractually not signed
