the defeat of junior gypsy No. UFC 256, held this Saturday (12), in Las Vegas (USA), may have sealed the Brazilian's farewell to the organization. In a press conference after the show, the company's president, Dana White, revealed that the setback suffered by Cyryl Gane should result in the former heavyweight champion (up to 120,2kg.) being included in the list of exemptions that will be promoted in 2020.

Dana White, when asked whether Cigano's setback would justify his dismissal, the president was succinct: 'Possibly', said the president.

Division leader up to 120,2kg. Between 2011 and 2012, Cigano was definitely not experiencing the best moment of his career. With four defeats in a row, the athlete has not been able to put into practice the strategies that made him known worldwide in MMA.

This weekend, the Brazilian came face to face with one of the group's biggest promises and ended up suffering yet another knockout in his career, four in a row.

A few days ago, the UFC surprised by releasing the veteran Yoel romero, which, for years, haunted the middleweight category (up to 83,9kg.). When questioned, White revealed, after the UFC Las Vegas 16, that there will be around 60 cuts this year and renowned athletes with a bad recent record could, in fact, be fired.
