Jordan Espinosa released following UFC 259 loss to Tim Elliott

It’s not just Megan Anderson whose UFC career ended last Saturday night.

MMA Fighting confirmed on Thursday that flyweight Jordan Espinosa (15-9, 1 NC) has been cut after his unanimous decision loss to former title challenger Tim Elliott. While the actual fight itself was not particularly memorable, what was said between Elliott and Espinosa immediately raised eyebrows.

Towards the end of round two, the following exchange occurred and the audio was picked up during the UFC broadcast:

Elliott: You choked a girl in 2018. You’re a woman beater. You’re a f—ng woman beater.
