Four fighters removed from UFC roster after back-to-back losses, including suspended veteran

Austin Hubbard among UFC fighters no longer on the roster

On Thursday, Tom Feely reported UFC fighters Austin Hubbard, Maheshate, Maryna Moroz, and Preston Parsons were removed from the UFC roster.

All four fighters are coming off back-to-back losses, with Moroz and Hubbard losing three in a row.

It is unsure at this time whether these fighters were cut by the promotion or simply not re-signed to a new contract.

For Moroz, the 13-time UFC veteran is currently serving a one-year suspension for the banned substance meldonium. There’s a possibility Moroz’s name was removed from the roster for the time being, until her suspension is lifted on July 17, 2026.

This isn’t the first time Hubbard has been removed from the UFC roster. The former LFA Lightweight Champion was let go by the premier promotion in 2021 following a 3-4 stint.

Hubbard got a second chance from the UFC in 2023, despite coming up short in the finale against Kurt Holobaugh.

Hubbard went 4-8 in the UFC across two stints. The 33-year-old is on a three-fight losing skid to Zhu Rongzhu, MarQuel Mederos, and Alexander Hernandez.

Maheshate and Preston Parsons leave with identical records

China’s Maheshate and Florida’s Parsons arrived to the Octagon in 2021-22.

They had six fights each and both went 2-4 in the UFC.

Maheshate is coming off decision losses to Nikolas Motta and Gauge Young while Parsons suffered a knockout loss at the hands of the undefeated Jacobe Smith and a decision to Oban Elliott.

We’ll see where the fighters end up next.
