It seems the UFC cull continues as Lenard Garcia appears to be the latest in an ever growing list of fighters cut from their rosters, following five consecutive defeats.

Garcia’s name, along with eight other fighters, has recently been removed from the UFC’s online roster, hinting at the cut. Garcia always captured fans’ attentions with his willingness to push forward and attempt to finish fights, but wasn’t securing the results required to stay in the organisation.

It seems to be the bantamweights and featherweights who are being hit the hardest, with Pablo Garza (12-4) and Antonio Carvalho (15-6) just two of the fighters suffering in the most recent wave of cuts.

By releasing so many fighters, the UFC have shown that negative and even records may not be enough to remain fighting for the organisation, but Garcia’s particulalr style has shown that entertaining the fans can possibly buy you some extra time. 

The list of fighters alledgedly cut from the UFC include:-

Sam Sicilia (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC).
Kurt Holobaugh (9-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
Pablo Garza (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC).
Antonio Carvalho (15-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC).
Justin Lawrence (4-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC).
Bart Palaszewski (36-17 MMA, 1-3 UFC).
Leonard Garcia (15-11-1 MMA, 2-7 UFC).
Reuben Duran (8-5-1, 1-3 UFC).
