Quick read
UFC released 24-fight veteran Alex Morono after four straight losses, denying his recent social media plea for one final 'last dance' bout to retire in the Octagon. The 35-year-old welterweight (13-10-1) had one fight left on his deal but was cut alongside Javid Basharat (4-2-1) and Lucas Almeida (2-4). This follows recent roster cleanups post the $7.7B Paramount+ deal. Morono's exit closes a decade-long UFC tenure; he may retire fully. It signals UFC's push for active contenders in welterweight and other divisions.
