Antonio Carlos Junior among 12 fighters no longer under UFC contract

Antonio Carlos Junior’s UFC 257 loss to Brad Tavares proved to be his last in the UFC.

MMA Fighting confirmed that The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil season 3 winner has been let go by the promotion after his third consecutive defeat. Joining him on the list are Carlton Minus, Peter Barrett, Spike Carlyle, Anthony Ivy, Jacob Kilburn, Sarah Moras, Vinicius Moreira, Markus Perez, Cole Williams, Rhys McKee, and Vanessa Melo.

It should be noted that Melo is a free agent after her win over Sarah Moras, but per MMA Fighting the hope is that she will be re-signed, otherwise that fight could be the rare double cut.
