Roster Tracker initially reported the departures on social media, and they were later confirmed by MMAFighting.com. This does not necessarily mean that all of the aforementioned fighters were released by the promotion. In some cases, they simply might not have had their contracts renewed.
Makdessi is the most prominent of the group. The 38-year-old Tristar Gym representative debuted in the Octagon in 2010 and compiled an 11-9 record in UFC competition. He earned notable wins against the likes of Ross Pearson, Daron Cruickshank and Sam Stout, among others. Makdessi lost three of his last four promotional outings, most recently dropping a unanimous verdict against Jamie Mullarkey at UFC 293 on Sept. 9.
