Quick read
The UFC has officially released featherweight Shem Rock following back-to-back losses in his brief Octagon tenure. The 32-year-old Liverpool fighter made his UFC debut in Qatar in November 2025, dropping a decision to undefeated Nurullo Aliev, and subsequently lost a scorecards decision to Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady at UFC London last month. Rock had previously competed for Oktagon MMA, where he compiled a 4-1 record with one draw. His UFC departure marks the end of a promising career trajectory that had included six consecutive finishes early in his professional run.
