UFC president Dana White himself revealed on Saturday’s UFC Vegas 16 post-fight presser stating that around 60 more fighters will be cut from the “very inflated” roster. They already began the wave of releases on Friday with Yoel Romero, which White also talked about.
Dana says they are probably going to cut 60 fighters by the end of the year.#UFC pic.twitter.com/nhyduiqm1A
