Share this story
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Keeping track of the current UFC roster can be a daunting task, but MMAFighting recently confirmed the release of five athletes: Emil Meek, Lara Procopio, Roque Martinez, Joe Ellenberger, and Alexander Yakovlev. Only one of those names comes as something of a surprise, but let’s break it down!
Meek debuted with quite a bit of hype behind him, following a brutal knockout of Rousimar Palhares back when that meant something. A debut win over Jordan Mein got the ball rolling, but since then, Meek has been ground out by three consecutive opponents, including Kamaru Usman.
