Hard hitting heavyweight Ben Sosoli was cut from the UFC, promotion officials told MMA Fighting.
Sosoli, who fought twice under inside the octagon after competing at Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019, was recently sentenced to 22 months in jail in Melbourne after punching a man in the face outside a bar, the Australian Associated Press reported. According to the report, Sosoli pleaded guilty to recklessly causing serious injury and can request to be released on parole after serving 11 months in prison.
Sosoli (7-3, 2 no contest) was on The Ultimate Fighter 28 cast in 2018, but only joined the UFC the next year to face Greg Hardy.
