Saptamana trecuta, UFC a scos de pe site-ul oficial paginile mai multor luptatori, ceea ce inseamna, de obicei, ca acestia nu mai fac parte din promotie. Confirmarea oficiala a venit astazi. Dupa ce James Wilks a fost fortat sa se retraga din cauza accidentarilor, Jason “Mayhem” Miller a fost concediat din cauza unui incident petrecut in backstage la UFC 146, iar Kenny Florian a confirmat ca s-a retras, UFC renunta la 10 luptatori mai putin importanti, toti fiind invinsi in ultima aparitie. Iata lista completa:
