MMA Fighting reported on Friday that lightweight Roosevelt Roberts, bantamweights Anderson dos Santos, Jamey Simmons, and Drako Rodriguez have all been let go by the promotion after their respective losses.
Roberts (10-3, 1 NC) is the most notable name on this list, having earned his UFC contract through a win on Dana White’s Contender Series. After wins over Darrell Horcher and Thomas Gifford, Roberts experienced his first professional loss when Vinc Pichel bested him by unanimous decision.
