It seemed like it would never happen, but we all knew that at some point it would have to. UFC Roster Watch has reported that the seemingly eternal Aleksei Oleinik is no longer listed on the UFC roster, after completing his contract.
The 45-year-old Oleinik has a legendary record of 60-17-1, and has spent the last eight years under the UFC banner. In the world’s premiere MMA league, Aleksei went 9-8 including a 1-1 stint in the 2022 calendar year. “The Boa Constrictor” submitted Jared Vanderaa with a scarf hold at UFC 273 in April of this year, and then just dropped a decision to Ilir Latifi at UFC Vegas 61 at the beginning of this month.
