Khama Worthy’s Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure got off to a spectacular start, but he was unable to maintain that momentum.
The lightweight competitor recently announced that he was released from the Las Vegas-based promotion in a post on his Instagram account. The 35-year-old known as “The Deathstar” went 2-3 in UFC competition.
“I just got word from my management team that I’ve been cut by the UFC,” Worthy wrote.
“…One door closes and another one opens, this lion still has the hunger in him, back on the hunt we go.”
Worthy’s Octagon debut came on less than a week’s notice, when he stopped Devonte Smith via technical knockout in the opening round at UFC 241.
