UFC Releases Five Fighters, Including Armen Petrosyan, Jalin Turner

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has recently parted ways with several fighters, including Jalin Turner, Montana De La Rosa, and Andrea Lee. Turner announced his early retirement at just 29 years old following a series of consecutive losses, expressing satisfaction with his decision despite being seen as still in his prime. De La Rosa and Lee, both women’s flyweights, were also released after struggling with their performance, with Lee exiting the promotion tied for the most bouts in UFC women's flyweight history. De La Rosa's career included an initial winning streak, but she only managed to secure three wins in her last nine fights. The UFC's roster continues to experience significant turnover as it seeks to maintain a competitive environment. The departures reflect the harsh realities of the sport, where even established fighters can find themselves without contracts due to performance issues.
