Recently, social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions following the announcement of a fighter’s removal from the UFC roster. Just last month, Dana White made the difficult choice to part ways with six fighters, including notable names like Cody Stamann and Taylor Lapilus. Among them, Lapilus’s situation was particularly striking, as he was released for the second time despite stringing together consecutive victories in the Octagon.
Now, it appears that another fighter, Armen Petrosyan, has also been let go by White. The middleweight contender faced a setback at UFC 313, where he suffered a loss to Brunno Ferreira, marking his third defeat in a row. MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin took to social media to relay the news, confirming that Petrosyan’s contract had concluded following his latest match.
Fans have taken to various platforms to voice their opinions on this development, with some expressing confusion over the decision while others recognized the tough competition Petrosyan faced in the octagon. Despite his recent release, Petrosyan holds a professional record of nine wins against six losses in his MMA career.
It’s always disheartening for fans to witness fighters leave the UFC, but the nature of the sport demands tough decisions. While opinions may vary, these changes are simply part of the dynamic landscape of mixed martial arts.
