| http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/6/4/3062923/ufc-cuts-several-fighters-dongi-yang-jeff-curran-mma-newsFollowing recent losses in the past few months, the UFC has decided to release several fighters from their roster. Among those confirmed to have been cut by the promotion were Dongi Yang, Kamal Shalorus, Jorge Lopez, and Jeff Curran who all suffered defeats at last month's UFC on Fuel TV event. Others also confirmed to have been let go are Aaron Rosa (lost 2 out of 3), Efrain Escudero (2 straight losses), and former WEC Champion, Steve Cantwell (5 straight losses). While not yet announced, a few other fighters has had their profiles at UFC.com removed, which usually signals being cut from the promotion. Here are the following: - Alex Soto (2 straight losses, also lost at the same UFC on Fuel TV event) - Eric Wisely (2 straight losses) - Mike Massenzio (2 straight losses) |

| Efrian didn't earn his way back anyways IMO. They are just now making Cantwell official? Nothing surprising. | |

| Damn I missed that entire first group of fighters. Rosa is a solid fighter, would have liked to see him get 1 more chance. | |

| Yang's last fight was close as hell, and I think with some conditioning he'll be back. | |

| Rosa was 1-1 at LHW and he just happened to face a guy in his last fight that hits like a fucking truck. Hate that cut. | |

| I kind of understand the Rosa cut. He clearly had a ceiling that wasn't very high. There's plenty of room at Light Heavyweight for cuts like this. | |
