Following recent defeats in the octagon, the UFC has released three fighters. Seung Woo Choi, Diana Belbita, and Istela Nunes are no longer on the active roster.
Belbita and Nunes were released after losses to Dione Barbosa and Loma Lookboonmee, respectively, at UFC Vegas 105 on April 5th.
Belbita, who joined the UFC in 2019 with a 13-4 record, departs with a 15-10 record. She lost six of her eight UFC fights, including her last three. Her UFC wins were decisions against Maria Oliveira and Hannah Goldy.
Nunes, a former ONE Championship title contender, was removed from the roster after losing all five of her UFC strawweight fights since October 2021.
Choi joined the UFC in 2019 and fought 11 times, facing notable opponents like Movsar Evloev and Alex Caceres. However, he only won four of those fights. The South Korean featherweight had a 1-5 record since 2021, most recently losing by first-round knockout to Kevin Vallejos in March.
