At least 14 fighters have been recently released by the UFC according to a new report from MMAFighting.com. Seven-fight UFC veteran Ryan Jimmo and 8-fight Octagon veteran Brian Ebersole were among those that got the axe.
Here’s the full list:
- Ryan Jimmo (19-5, 3-4 UFC)
- Robbie Peralta (18-6/1 NC, 4-4 UFC)
- Hatsu Hioki (27-9-2, 3-5 UFC)

- Justin Edwards (8-5, 2-5 UFC)
- Zhang Lipeng (9-9-1, 2-2 UFC)

Any surprises here? The Jimmo release is a bit interesting if only because he’s been openly critical of the UFC/Reebok deal (and he does a great Robot).
