The UFC let go of Russian welterweight Rinat Fakhretdinov after his contract expired, despite a 6-0-1 record, as part of a trend favoring revenue-generating fighters.
The UFC has not re-signed Russian welterweight Rinat Fakhretdinov after his contract expired, despite his 6-0-1 record in the organization, including notable wins over Kevin Lee and Andreas Gustafsson.
Fakhretdinov, who debuted in 2022, was released alongside fighters Loik Radzhabov and Elizeu Zaleski, all of whom had their contracts end without renewal.
The decision follows a broader trend of reduced roster spots for Russian fighters, with analysts attributing the move to financial considerations over performance, as the UFC prioritizes revenue-generating talent.
