It wasn't a great day for the flyweight division, as it appears that five members of the 125-pound UFC roster have been released from the promotion. Competitors in four other divisions were allegedly given the axe as well.
UFCFIGHTERSiNFO over on Twitter first reported the apparent changes to the UFC's online roster, which almost always indicates a fighters release from a UFC contract. Here are the fighters that were cut:
Tim Elliott
Dylan Andrews
Louis Gaudinot
Alptekin Ozkilic
Vik Grujic
Shayna Baszler
Shane Howell
Rocky Lee
Tateki Matsuda
Alexander Torres
Elliott (10-6-1, 2-4 UFC) is likely the biggest surprise.
