Carlston Harris has been cut from the UFC roster. The welterweight fighter's departure marks the end of his stint with the promotion.
Carlston Harris has been released from the UFC, ending his run with the promotion as of late June 2026.
Harris, known by his nickname "Mocambique," represented Guyana throughout his UFC tenure and competed at welterweight out of Renovacao Fight Team. The 38-year-old stood six feet tall with a 76-inch reach and fought out of an orthodox stance. He exits the promotion with an overall professional record of 19-7-0. During his time in the octagon, Harris showed consistent offensive output, averaging 3.79 significant strikes landed per minute at 43 percent accuracy, while also demonstrating a well-rounded ground game with 1.46 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Harris was a veteran presence in the welterweight division, and his departure opens roster space for emerging contenders at 170 pounds.
- His blend of striking volume and grappling threat made him a difficult stylistic puzzle for opponents throughout his career.
- At 38, the release raises questions about whether Harris will continue competing elsewhere on the regional or international circuit.
