UFC Removes Kron Gracie, Two Featherweights After Consecutive Losses

Kron Gracie, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu star and member of the Gracie family, has been removed from the UFC roster following a series of three consecutive losses and an overall disappointing MMA career. Despite a promising start with a submission victory in his UFC debut, Gracie struggled to maintain momentum, compiling a 5-3 professional record and suffering a knockout loss to Bryce Mitchell at UFC 310. His UFC tenure was marked by long periods of inactivity and lackluster performances, including defeats to notable fighters like Cub Swanson and Charles Jourdain. Alongside Gracie, the UFC also cut featherweights Hakeem Dawodu and Connor Matthews, who similarly faced recent losses and roster instability. These cuts reflect the UFC's ongoing roster adjustments as it balances veteran presence with emerging prospects in the featherweight division. While Gracie’s future in MMA is uncertain, his legacy within Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu remains significant.
