Fans are buzzing on social media following the news that another fighter has been cut from the UFC roster. Just last month, Dana White faced the difficult task of letting go of six fighters, including notable names like Taylor Lapilus and Cody Stamann. Of particular interest was Lapilus, who was released for the second time despite having a winning streak in the Octagon.
In the latest turn of events, reports indicate that Armen Petrosyan, a middleweight competitor, has also been let go. Petrosyan faced a loss against Brunno Ferreira at UFC 313, marking his third defeat in a row. MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin confirmed the news via social media, noting that Petrosyan’s contract came to an end following his last bout.
Reactions from fans have been mixed, with some expressing confusion over the decision while others recognize the difficulties Petrosyan encountered in his recent matches. Even though he has been released from the organization, Petrosyan still holds a respectable record of nine victories and six defeats in his MMA career.
It’s always disheartening to see fighters leave the UFC, but the highly competitive nature of mixed martial arts necessitates tough calls. While some fans may not agree with these decisions, they are simply part of the dynamic landscape of the sport.
