The Ultimate organization announced a true “package of layoffs” this Monday (01), with no less than ten names that ended up being cut by the biggest MMA event on the planet. Among the main names on the list dismissed is that of veteran Shayna Baszler, member of the group “Four Horsewomen”, formed by the champion's friends and training colleagues Ronda Rousey.

Baszler, 34 years old, 12 of them dedicated to MMA, is going through the worst phase of his career with three consecutive defeats, two of them in the only fights he had in Ultimate, to Brazilians Beth Pitbull e Amanda nunes. Recently, the “Queen of Spades”, as she is known, made her debut on telecatch, already showing signs that it could definitely change its modality soon.
