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

I demand an explanation for this one.

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.
 
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
