According to recent tweets by UFC Roster Watch, featherweight Youssef Zalal, recently retired former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and recently signed welterweight Cedric Doumbe will be removed from the promotion's roster.
However, Cedric Doumbe disputed the news of his release in a recent interview with BOXEMAG.com.
Cedric Doumbe disputes the news that he is being cut from the UFC
After reports surfaced that the recently signed two-time GLORY welterweight champion Cedric Doumbe had been cut by the UFC, the fighter himself stepped forward to dispute the news.
Doumbe's UFC debut on the September 3 Paris fight card was recently scrapped after the local commission opposed the proposition, citing the fighter's lack of experience in MMA.
In a recent interview with BOXEMAG.com, the French national stated that he was still under contract with the American fight promotion. He also added that he is currently working on getting the required licenses:
“It is possible that they put a name and then remove it [depending on whether or not the fight is confirmed] and my name must have been removed from the site. But I'm still on contract. I signed the contract, they didn't cut me off, I just have to do my papers, my license etc… with the federation. That's why, as long as I haven't done my license, I can't fight in France," Translated via google translate.
Doumbe is currently undefeated in MMA with a record of 2-0. In his pro-MMA debut, the 30-year-old cruised past Arbi Emiev with a first-round TKO at SuperKombat-Universe.
