Although Spike Carlyle is no longer on the UFC roster, he believes it’s a blessing in disguise.
The exciting featherweight competitor confirmed that he was released from the UFC, confirming an earlier report from MMA Fighting. “The Alpha Ginger” began his octagon run with a short-notice TKO win over Aalon Cruz at UFC Norfolk in February 2020 before dropping his next two fights to Billy Quarantillo and Bill Algeo.
“I had one more fight on my contract and they decided to cut me,” Carlyle said during an Instagram Live over the weekend.
