Dana White had confirmed that 60 UFC stars could be part of the roster cuts soon

The end of 2020 doesn’t seem to be all that great for some of the UFC stars. Dana White, the UFC president, confirmed that 60 stars would be cut from the roster come the end of the year.

These roster cuts had started a while back with some shocking decisions from the UFC. Anderson Silva was made to leave but the big one came recently with Yoel Romero getting the boot.

The Soldier of God had lost a few fights recently but he was still one of the big names. His age was a factor that White brought up and also his losing record.

The UFC does have a bloated roster and like most sports bodies, it has to run a tight ship. They have to make some tough decisions and here are some stars that could be leaving the UFC.

5) Rachael Ostovich

Rachael Ostovich is a Flyweight star in the UFC Women’s division but her time in the UFC hasn’t been all that great.

The 29-year-old started her UFC career with a win but she has been on the end of three big losses. The latest was against Gina Mazany at UFC: Smith vs Clark, and she has struggled a bit in recent matches.

There are several quality talents in the division too and it will be interesting to see what happens next.
