Askar Mozharov is no longer with the UFC. The ‘Black Jaguar’, or as BE resident cartoonist Chris Rini calls him ‘Cosplay McGregor’, fought and lost at UFC Vegas 56 this month after a bizarre story emerged about his fighting record.

News of Mozharov’s release came via UFC Roster Watch on Twitter. The news regarding Mozharov’s fighting record, which was slashed in the lead-up to his UFC debut, came via Sherdog, who released a detailed report on what they claimed was Mozharov and his team’s attempts to defraud Sherdog’s Fight Finder staff.

After Sherdog conducted a thorough audit of Mozharov’s history, the well respected fight database erased the Ukranian’s 25-7 record and changed it to 18-13.
