UFC veterans Jordan Espinosa and Shana Dobson have been released from the roster after both suffered losses in recent fights.
Multiple people with knowledge of the releases confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday.
Espinosa’s run with the UFC comes to an end after he went 2-4 with the promotion after joining the roster by way of Dana White’s Contender Series. A talented prospect at 125 pounds, he picked up a win in his octagon debut but then dropped his next two fights in a row.
He then earned another win over Mark De La Rosa before again suffering back-to-back losses, which then led to his release from the UFC. Espinosa most recently competed this past Saturday at UFC 259, where he lost a unanimous decision to Tim Elliott.
