The UFC increased the list of fighters fired from the organization this Friday (22). Featherweights Miltinho Viera and Diego Nunes, as well as bantamweight Pedro Nobre were released by the largest MMA organization in the world. The news was released by the Globo Esporte website.
Still according to the article, Miltinho's manager, Alex Davis, is trying to reverse his situation, as the defeat to Geoffrey Pepey in the split decision of the judges, in the UFC Sao Paulo, had a very controversial result. But it is unlikely that it will be successful, considering that Dana White, president of the organization, guaranteed that the event will further reduce the number of contractors.
The three fighters join Jorge Santiago and Wagner Caldeirão, who were released from their contracts. The list released last Wednesday 20th had renowned names in the sport such as North American Jon Fitch, who was ninth in the organization's welterweight rankings.
