Austin Springer might have stepped up on a day’s notice to fight Alex Caceres at UFC Vegas 8, but after missing weight and losing the fight the UFC has cut him from the promotion.
Caceres went through two opponent changes before Springer stepped in to fight him at UFC Vegas 8, with “Bruce Leeroy” going on to win by first-round submission. Springer revealed on Instagram that the UFC was “pissed” he missed weight and was therefore released from his contract.
“Yesterday I was informed that the UFC has decided to fire me,” Springer wrote.
