One recent UFC signee was reportedly released from the roster after one fight.
A total of six UFC debuts took place during the promotion’s return to Qatar on November 22 this past weekend.
Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev announced himself as a light heavyweight to watch after his 33-second victory over Raffaelcerqueira.
Paddy Pimblett, his teammate Luke Riley and the unbeaten Brit won the Performance of the Night award for their knockout of Bogdangrad.
Unfortunately for a different debutant, it appears that the UFC wasn’t overly keen with what they saw from him in a bout that received criticism from fans.
