The UFC has officially released four fighters, including Hall of Famer Urijah Faber and bantamweight veteran Kyung Ho Kang. Faber, who has not fought since 2019, remains active in local combat sports and may join the newly formed Global Fight League. Kang announced his departure from the UFC after a decade, ending with an 8-5-1 record and reflecting on his long career in a heartfelt social media post. Other fighters released include Danny Roberts and Victor Hugo, with Roberts struggling to find success in the UFC and Hugo facing weight issues. The cuts highlight the promotion's ongoing roster adjustments as it prepares for upcoming events. The next UFC draft is set for January 24, which may see Faber's name added to a new roster.
