5 UFC stars that could be following Yoel Romero as part of roster cuts

1) Mauricio Rua

Possibly one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport, Mauricio Shogun Rua, is a former Light Heavyweight Champion in the UFC.

However, age might be catching up to him as the 39-year-old lost his last fight to Paul Craig. The Brazilian can still do a decent job but the Heavyweight division is loaded with several big names, especially with Jon Jones moving up.

Silva was an example of a big name leaving and Rua could be part of the UFC roster cuts too.
