Bellator releases eight fighters, including veterans Sokoudjou and Razak Al-Hassan

Bellator is in the process of paring down its roster again. As Bloody Elbow reported, the Viacom-owned promotion released eight fighters on Wednesday, including longtime veteran Rameau Sokoudjou.

The other fighters who were handed their pink slips included two-time UFC veteran Razak Al-Hassan, the 21-year old Brazilian prospect Julio Cesar Nevez, Curtis Millender, Jesse Juarez, Rafael Silva, Antonio Duarte and Alejandro Villalobos.

Each of the fighters who were cut from the roster are coming off of losses.

None of the cuts were bigger than the Cameroonian fighter, Sokoudjou, who spent time in the late-2000s in Pride FC and the UFC.
