Overview
- The fighters are Hamdy Abdelwahab, who defeated Chris Barnett by unanimous decision, and Azat Maksum, who lost to Mitch Raposo after missing weight.
- Abdelwahab’s removal followed completion of his initial four-fight UFC deal, and his first UFC win was previously overturned due to a failed drug test.
- Maksum exited on a three-fight skid and was docked a point for a fence grab in his latest bout, compounding his weigh-in miss.
- The roster changes were first flagged by the automated tracker roster.watch and circulated on X by Al Zullino, with no formal explanation from the promotion.
- Fan reaction ranged from approval of Abdelwahab’s departure to criticism that Barnett remains on the roster despite recent losses.
