Luckily for the fighters competing at UFC Fight Night 77, there aren’t many competitors who are all that close to the dreaded UFC chopping block.
However, the promotion has been cutting useless weight recently. The UFC recently cut more than 30 fighters from their roster. Some were cut due to inactivity, while others were cut due to a lack of performance. Typically, a fighter can be cut after three consecutive losses, but fighters can leave the UFC roster for a litany of reasons.
Fighters in the lightweight and welterweight divisions should be on watch going forward, as the UFC currently has nearly 100 fighters in both divisions under contract.
