According to reports, the UFC has released three-fighters from their promotional obligations following unfavorable outings.

The UFC recently went on a mass-firing spree in October, but things kind of cooled down over the last couple of months, with no terminations issued in November or most of December.

Those times though, they’re over, as the world’s largest MMA promotion has issued some new pink slips to their ever thinning roster.

Included in this latest firing spree are Vaughan Lee, Hugo Viana, and Alan Omer.

All three-fighters are coming off losses.

Lee went 3-5 in the UFC, unable to ever get consecutive wins under the promotional banner. His most recent outing was a decision loss to Patrick Holohan.

Hugo Viana has dropped 3 of his last 4 UFC bouts. Unfortunately for the TUF Brazil veteran that list of defeats came after running into TJ Dillashaw, Aljamain Stering, and Guido Canneti.

Lastly, Alan Omer went winless in his time with the promotion, dropping bouts to Jim Alers, and Arnold Allen.
