The UFC has parted ways with seven fighters recently as the company is looking to shed extra weight. Amongst the seven fighters, a 13-7 fighter, Maria Oliveira also happens to be one of them.
The women's strawweight fighter was recently seen in action against Diana Belbita at UFC 289 earlier this month where she suffered a decision loss. Despite having a rather mediocre 13-7 MMA record, Oliveira had won just one of her four fights in the octagon and that seems to be the reason why the promotion has released her.

Apart from Maria Oliveira, six other fighters that have been released from the UFC are Nick Fiore, Erick Gonzalez, Bea Malecki, Aaron Philips, Takashi Sato, and Don Shainis. It is worth noting that these were the second set of fighters to be removed from the promotion after releasing eight fighters just a few days ago.
