Since making her UFC debut in 2016, the ‘Queen of Elbows’ has been winning and losing. The former top 15 bantamweight fighter lost her next four bouts which included Sarah McMann, Panny her Chianzad and Karol Rosa. Despite winning streaks with Tonya Evinger and her Macy Chiasson, she dropped out of the top 15. She leaves her sport after finishing her professional career with an overall record of 10-8.
Two other fighters have been removed from the organization’s roster after their most recent event, UFC Vegas 69, where they were defeated.
After losing by unanimous decision to Martin Prakunio, William Knight’s UFC light heavyweight record dropped to 3-4. “Nightmare” received a lot of criticism for his bizarre performance, and responded in a since-deleted Instagram video by claiming he was “frozen” when he played against Prakunio.
The former Contender Series entrant started his UFC career with a 1-1 record, but took victories over Fabio Celant and Alonzo Menifield. After winning the previous two matches in a row, Knight’s winning streak ended when he lost to Maxim Grishin, Devin Clark and now Plakunio.
UFC middleweight-turned-light-heavyweight Jordan Wright was also sacked after losing four straight to Zach Pauga by unanimous decision. ‘Hollywood Hills His Ninja’ finished with a 2-5 overall record while competing for promotion.
UFC officials have confirmed that both Knight and Wright have been removed from the roster as a result of the termination of their individual contracts.
