Each fighter\u2019s official profile now displays a \u201cReleased\u201d tag on the promotion\u2019s website, confirming their departure from the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson\u2019s brief tenure exemplifies the unforgiving nature of elite competition in mixed martial arts. The 30-year-old American struggled translating potential into results after debuting with a September 2021 loss to Itsuki Hirata. Her lone victory came against Asha Roka before suffering defeats to Stamp Fairtex and Victoria Souza.<\/p>\n<p>McLaren adds another veteran name to the growing list of released athletes. The Australian\u2019s departure continues the promotion\u2019s roster overhaul. His specific performance details weren\u2019t immediately available.<\/p>\n<p>Mujtaba faced similar challenges despite his veteran status and experience. The 32-year-old Pakistani fighter compiled a disappointing 4-5 record that peaked early before declining against elite opposition. His final three appearances resulted in consecutive losses to Kade Ruotolo, Halil Amir, and Sage Northcutt.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas\u2019s release proves particularly surprising given his former championship credentials. The 27-year-old Frenchman held the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship before losing consecutive title defenses against Regian Eersel. The defeats cost him both his belt and roster position.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alyse Anderson joins four other fighters in losing their roster spots due to various reasons.
