UFC fighter brutally axed from roster by Dana White despite winning last fight as fans left stunned

UFC continues to trim its roster

Four more fighters have been cut from UFC as Dana White continues to trim its active roster.

UFC has terminated or declined to extend the contracts of the quartet, among others, according to the Borrachinha Depot account on X.

Diana Belbita, Seung Woo Choi and Istela Nunes were part of a group dropped from the active roster earlier in April and another round of streamlining has taken Lucas Alexander, Pedro Falcao and Cortavious Romious out of the game.

28-year-old Irishman Caolan Loughran has also been axed from the roster despite winning his last fight, a split decision victory over Nathan Fletcher at UFC Fight Night 254 in March.

Bantamweight Loughran drops out of UFC with a 2-2 record, having also beaten Angel Pacheco a year earlier but lost to both Jake Hadley and Taylor Lapilus.

"At only 28 years old and being from Europe, there might be a good chance that he returns to the UFC after scoring a few wins on the regional scene," says MMA Mania.

Loughran took a record of 8-0 into UFC and will be keen to regain his spot with the big boys sooner rather than later.

The decision shocked some commenters after he improved to a career 10-2 record by beating Fletcher but some fans aren't altogether surprised to see Loughran cut.

"He won his last fight via robbery," said one user on X, formerly Twitter. "Well deserved. All he wanna do is cuddle his opponents."

"I thought he lost his last fight tbh, other guy got robbed," agreed another.

"He said his contact was up," posted a fan. "Pretty standard."

The fact Loughran was cut after a win was described as "brutal" and "surprising" but one fan on Reddit peeled back the layers, posting: "His fights have all been pretty bad and even this win was a bad way to finish out his contract, basically won a split via ground control in the final round. Pretty sure he was only signed because they were trying to build a UFC Dublin card for Ian Garry and then he and every other Irish fighter they signed just weren't very good."

"Looks like the UFC agrees that decision he won was absolutely atrocious, both in terms of the quality of the fight and it being a robbery," wrote another.
