The UFC has updated its list of fighters removed from the active roster.<\/p>\n
One name that may surprise some people is Gregor Gillespie. He hasn’t fought since May 2021. There’s no word so far on whether he’s been cut by the UFC or if he’s been removed simply due to inactivity.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Gillespie took to his Instagram account to claim Tony Ferguson was ducking him<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJust got word again from my manager that Tony Ferguson will not accept the fight against me, bro,\u201d Gillespie said on his Instagram. \u201cThen I see you online, Tony, calling out f******g Michael Chandler, saying it\u2019s wrestling season, bro. Dude, you understand, I\u2019m the wrestler, bro. I beat the s**t out of Mike Chandler in college, and I will f**k you up in wrestling, too. If you\u2019re looking for the wrestler, bro, accept the fight dude.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI need to start climbing and none of you guys seem to want to f******g fight me. Tony, me and you are f******g available,\u201d Gillespie continued about Ferguson. \u201cWe\u2019ve been available since the same f******g, one weekend apart. I fought last and then next weekend you fought the weekend after. It\u2019s time, bro. Let\u2019s just f*cking do it. Call f******g Chandler out cause it\u2019s wrestling season. Get the f**k out of here, bro. I\u2019m the wrestler.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The other names may not come as much of a surprise (via UFC Roster Watch<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u274c Fighter removed: Ike Villanueva<\/p>\n — UFC Roster Watch (@UFCRosterWatch) May 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
