Roman Bogatov has been cut by the UFC after landing multiple fouls in a decision loss to Leonardo Santos at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi last month.<\/p>\n

Bogatov couldn’t seem to get out of his own way in the fight with Santos, landing a pair of groin shots and an illegal knee during the three-round contest. These repeated fouls earned him a two-point penalty courtesy of referee Marc Goddard, which led to a decision loss, and ultimately, his UFC release.<\/p>\n

Bogatov confirmed that he’s parted ways with the promotion to Russian outlet TASS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Yes, they told me today they had terminated the contract,” Bogatov said, clarifying that he hadn’t been given a reason for his release.<\/p>\n

His manager Sayat Abdrakhmanov subsequently told TASS that the fouls landed in his loss to Santos played a role in his release.<\/p>\n

Roman Bogatov’s contract with the UFC has been terminated after one fight in which he hit his opponent with 3 or 4 illegal strikes.<\/p>\n
