Quick read
Sherdog reports that **Rinat Fakhretdinov**, who went 6-0-1 in the UFC, has been removed from the promotion’s roster alongside Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Loik Radzhabov. The 34-year-old welterweight, nicknamed "Gladiator," last competed in September 2025, scoring a 54-second TKO in Paris. It remains unclear whether he was formally released or simply not re-signed after his contract expired. This roster cut is notable because Fakhretdinov maintained an unbeaten promotional record, raising questions about UFC’s roster and contract strategy.
