Despite winning his latest fight at UFC Edmonton, Alexandr Romanov has been removed from the UFC roster, as his contract expired following the bout. Romanov, who held a 7-3 record in the UFC, expressed hope for a new contract but faces stiff competition from emerging heavyweights. Meanwhile, former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has been taken off the rankings due to inactivity, while Rose Namajunas dropped in the rankings after her recent loss to Erin Blanchfield. The UFC has also released notable fighters, including Romanov and former featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie, who announced her retirement after struggling to secure a final fight. The UFC continues to evolve, with new talent entering the ranks, potentially impacting fighters like Romanov and others in the heavyweight division.
