Quick read
UFC president Dana White released 24-fight veteran Alex Morono despite his recent Instagram plea for one final 'last dance' bout to retire in the Octagon. Morono, 35, went 13-10-1 overall with four straight UFC losses and one fight left on his deal. The cut follows UFC 325 issues and roster cleanups post-Paramount deal, including Rinat Fakhretdinov. Other releases: Javid Basharat (4-2-1 UFC) after a win, and Lucas Almeida (2-4 UFC). This signals aggressive talent management, impacting welterweight depth as UFC prioritizes rising stars over veterans.
