Check out which fighters that had to part ways with the UFC!

Dalcha Lungiambula fought Magomed Ankalaev

Dalcha Lungiambula was removed from the roster after his contract expired. The promotion chose not to re-sign him.

The 35-year-old’s promotional run ended with four straight losses, and he left the organization with a record of 2-5.

Lungiambula debuted as a light heavyweight, and came to fight future title contender Magomed Ankalaev, but fought the majority of his bouts as a middleweight where he squared off against fighters like Mark-Andre Barriault, Cody Brundage and Punahele Soriano.

He last competed in the prelims of last Saturday’s UFC 282 in Las Vegas, where he fell short to Edmen Shahbazyan who finished the fight with a second-round knockout.

Benito Lopez was 2-2 in the UFC

Bantamweight Benito Lopez has been removed from the roster after completing his current contract. UFC opted to not re-sign him. He parted ways with a 2-2 record promotional record.

Lopez won his UFC debut against Albert Morales, just to be submitted by Manny Bermudez in his second fight.

He then bounced back with a win against Vince Morales, before suffering a submission loss to Mario Bautista on November 5, in what became his final appearance in the organization.
