Four fighters are reportedly no longer part of the UFC roster after being cut by the promotion.
UFC CEO Dana White is known for occasionally making significant changes to the organization`s extensive list of athletes.
The most recent release before this group was a fighter who missed weight by 10 pounds during their UFC 317 debut last month.
According to reports, several more notable names have now had their contracts terminated.
Trevin Giles
Trevin Giles, a veteran with 14 UFC fights, is the most experienced fighter affected by this latest round of cuts.
Competing in both welterweight and middleweight divisions, he compiled a record of 7 wins and 7 losses inside the Octagon.
Giles holds notable victories over fighters like James Krause and Roman Dolidze. The 32-year-old also faced current 185-pound champion Dricus du Plessis and rising 170-pound contender Michael Morales during his tenure.
His release follows a three-fight losing streak, with recent defeats coming against Gabriel Bonfim, Carlos Prates, and Mike Mallott.
Viviane Araujo
Viviane Araujo was a consistent contender in the flyweight division during her 13 bouts with the UFC.
The 38-year-old fighter secured victories over former title challengers Jennifer Maia, Roxanne Modafferi, and Alexis Davis.
Araujo`s record in her last five fights stands at 2 wins and 3 losses, bringing her overall UFC record to 7-6 since joining in 2019.
Her most recent fight at UFC 317 resulted in a unanimous decision defeat against Tracy Cortez.
Ange Loosa
Ange Loosa`s time with the UFC ended following a brutal knockout defeat to Phil Rowe at UFC Atlanta on June 14.
He suffered a severe ten-punch combination while pinned against the fence.
Prior to that loss, the 31-year-old was defeated by unanimous decision by Gabriel Bonfim.
Loosa concludes his UFC tenure with a record of 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 No Contest. His victories over AJ Fletcher and Rhys McKee were seemingly not enough to secure his position on the roster.
Jordan Vucenic
Jordan Vucenic had the briefest UFC run among the four recently cut fighters.
The former Cage Warriors featherweight champion held a 2-0 record in the promotion with wins over Guram Kutateladze and Chris Duncan, until he suffered an upset guillotine choke loss to Duncan at UFC London in March.
At just 29 years old, Vucenic believes he still has a promising career ahead and intends to return to the UFC.
Confirming the news on social media, he wrote, “60+ fights and 12 years of training every day to get here, and now I’ve been released by the UFC.”
“2 fights I believe on my day I win, but fate had other ideas, but this will not define me or affect me negatively, I’ll be back winning and back fighting in the UFC very soon.”
