Aoriqileng has been removed from the UFC roster. The departure marks the end of his stint with the promotion.
Aoriqileng, known as "The Mongolian Murderer," has been cut from the UFC roster, ending his run with the promotion as of September 2026.
The 33-year-old bantamweight carried a professional record of 26 wins and 14 losses into his final days with the organization. Standing five-foot-seven with a 69-inch reach, Aoriqileng fought out of an orthodox stance and built a reputation as a high-output striker during his UFC tenure. He averaged 4.4 significant strikes landed per minute with a striking accuracy of 49 percent, numbers that placed him among the more active fighters in the division. He also contributed on the ground, averaging 1.11 takedowns per 15 minutes, though his submission game remained a secondary weapon at 0.2 attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Aoriqileng's removal opens a roster spot in an already competitive bantamweight division.
- His striking volume made him a fan-friendly presence, and he figures to draw interest from other promotions.
- At 33 with a 26-14 record, he has experience that could translate well outside the UFC.
The departure closes a chapter for one of the few Mongolian fighters to compete under the UFC banner, a distinction that gave him a distinct identity within the sport.
