Felipe Bunes and Jose Daniel Medina were removed from the UFC roster following losses at the UFC Mexico City event on February 28, 2026. Bunes (14-9), the former LFA flyweight champion, ends his UFC stint at 1-3, with his latest decision loss to Edgar Chairez capping consecutive defeats after an initial knockout by champion Joshua Van and a win over Jose Johnson. Medina (11-7), signed by Dana White after a Contender Series loss, went 0-4 in the UFC, culminating in a 41-second knockout by Ryan Gandra, plus finishes to Ateba Gautier and others. This roster cleanup signals UFC's quick moves post-event to refresh talent pools in flyweight and middleweight divisions. Both fighters hit free agency; Bunes may seek regional title rematches, while Medina's five-fight skid poses rebound challenges.
