UFC fighter brutally finds out about release from fan on Instagram

UFC have released a further three fighters from the roster but one appeared to only find out on social media.

The MMA promotion regularly announce cuts to trim their roster, with the latest batch of releases seeing Antonio Trocoli, Luana Carolina and Bruna Brasil move on.

Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting was the first to report the trio of exits, with UFC deciding against extending their contracts after they expired.

Fans often learn of the releases from the UFC Roster Watch account on social media but it appears as though Brasil had no communication regarding her exit.

In a post which did the rounds online, a fan commented on Brasil's Instagram post and said that she had been removed from the UFC roster.

She replied, "Really?", to which the fan said "yes" and added a sad emoji.

Brasil has not officially commented on her departure from UFC but the news came just days after her unanimous decision defeat to Alexia Thainara at UFC Fight Night in Seattle, Washington.

It was a second consecutive loss for Brasil, who finished with five wins and three losses and UFC. One of her notable victories came against Molly McCann at UFC 304 in Manchester when he came in as a huge underdog.

Trocoli was given the boot after a four-fight winless streak which finished with a unanimous decision loss to Mantas Kondratavicius on the Movsar Evloev vs Lerone Murphy card in London.

His only win under the UFC umbrella was against Kenneth Bergh on the Contender Series in 2019 but it was overturned and changed to a no contest due to a failed drug test from 'Malvado'.

Finally,

Luana Carolina was the final fighter relieved of their duties at UFC and the Brazilian flyweight was removed after her final scheduled fight did not happen.

She was poised to take Melissa Mullins on the undercard of the Evloev vs Murphy bill but weighed in eight pounds over the limit, leading to the bout being cancelled.

Her last foray into the Octagon was a defeat against Michelle Montague in Perth, Australia. She was deduced a point in the second round for an illegal move.
