UFC Edmonton proved to be a card of misfortune for a number of fighters.
Following the information that successful fighter Alexandr Romanov was not re-signed after a win this previous Saturday, MMA Preventing has confirmed that two extra fighters who had been booked in Edmonton have parted methods with the promotion, Romanov’s opponent Rodrigo Nascimento and predominant card competitor Caio Machado.
It’s not identified if Nascimento and Machado had been launched or if, like Romanov, their present contracts got here to an finish and so they weren’t supplied new contracts.
Nascimento finds himself a free agent simply two fights faraway from headlining UFC St. Louis reverse Derrick Lewis this previous Might. The dreary choice loss to Romanov was Nascimento’s second straight setback, capping off an octagon run that noticed Nascimento compile a 4-3 (1 NC) report.
A drop to 205 kilos couldn’t flip break Machado out of a stoop because the Contender Collection signing went winless in three UFC appearances. After two losses at heavyweight, Machado got here out on the mistaken finish of a break up choice towards Brendson Ribeiro on the UFC Edmonton predominant card in a lightweight heavyweight bout that did not generate sparks.
