Juan Adams released following UFC 247 knockout loss to Justin Tafa

In a week in which we’ve seen several UFC fighters removed from the roster, you can add another one to the list.

Heavyweight prospect Juan Adams confirmed on Wednesday that he has been let go after his knockout loss to Justin Tafa at UFC 247.

“Spoke with the manager and I’m not in the UFC anymore,” Adams tweeted. “As easy as it would be to give up, I’m going to keep going. I made the changes too late and now i have to pay for that but I have the right pieces in place now.
