MMA Junkie reported that the UFC has released four fighters: Michael Prazeres, Maki Pitolo, Jared Gooden, and Matt Sayles. Prazeres parted ways with UFC some time ago, but it has now been officially confirmed, as he asked for his release after failed drug test and 4-year suspension.
Prazeres, 40, has a 26 – 4 professional MMA record, including 14 fights in the octagon and his record in UFC is 10-4. During his career, Prazeres has fought with Gilbert Burns, Mairbek Taisumov, and Mads Burnell.
