Quick read
UFC CEO Dana White released 24-fight veteran Alex Morono despite his recent social media plea for one final 'last dance' bout to retire in the Octagon. Morono, 35, posted on Instagram expressing hope for a farewell fight after a decade with UFC, but was cut with one fight left on his contract following four straight losses (13-10-1 career). This follows recent cuts like Rinat Fakhretdinov. Bantamweight Javid Basharat (4-2-1 UFC) and featherweight Lucas Almeida were also released. The moves signal UFC's roster cleanup post-Paramount+ deal amid new big cards. Morono may retire elsewhere.[3]
