Okay, so maybe Brock Lesnar being gone from the UFC roster again isn’t a shock. Lesnar’s return to the sport last year was surprise enough to many, as the WWE superstar had seemed decidedly retired after his first UFC run. A spot on UFC 200 and a failed drug test later and Lesnar’s return appears to be over.
But he’s not the only one.
The UFC purged a whole slew of fighters from their active roster over on UFC.com on Friday, February 10th. While some names were unsurprising - like recently retired Tim Kennedy, Sean O’Connell, and Aisling Daly, others seem like they came totally out of left field.
