UFC Cuts Four Fighters Including 14-Fight Veteran Giles

The UFC has recently cut four fighters—Trevin Giles, Viviane Araujo, Ange Loosa, and Jordan Vucenic—during a roster purge led by UFC CEO Dana White. Giles, a 14-fight UFC veteran, was released following a three-fight losing streak, while Araujo, a perennial flyweight contender with notable wins over former title challengers, ended her UFC career with a 7-6 record. Loosa's release came after a brutal knockout loss despite showing promise earlier in the fight; he had struggled with a winless stretch prior to his cut. Vucenic, who had a short UFC tenure, was also removed from the roster but is young enough to potentially return. Additionally, Felipe dos Santos, a young flyweight prospect with a promising start but back-to-back decision losses, was cut from the promotion, highlighting the UFC's low margin for error. These moves reflect the UFC's ongoing strategy to trim its roster, focusing on performance and title contention potential amid a highly competitive landscape.
