UFC has sacked women’s fighter, Kay Hansen, from its roster. The 22-year-old fighter lost her last three fights.

Hansen had a four-fight run in the organization. Furthermore, the 10th Planet Jiujitsu Buena Park fighter fought in the strawweight and flyweight divisions.

Hansen, who was scheduled to fight Piera Rodriguez at UFC 273 in the strawweight division, missed weight (118.5 lbs) and lost the fight via unanimous decision. Even earlier, at UFC Vegas 22, Hansen withdrew from her bout with Cheyanne Vlismas.

Though the fighter is young and has shown potential inside the Octagon, she was cut from the UFC.

It appears the news didn’t deter Hansen, as the Californian shared on her Twitter, “22 years young. My career is just getting started.”

An ardent fan of MMA and a big name in showbiz, Kendra Lust reacted to her tweet and posted a motivational message for the young fighter.

“Let’s go girl,” wrote Lust in her message. “Just prove them wrong!”

The award-winning adult film entertainer follows the sport closely and even has her MMA podcast with UFC middleweight fighter Julian Marquez.

Hansen signed with the promotion relatively young. Thus, she has a whole career left ahead of her. The fighter could easily make improvements in her game and gain confidence in other promotions and resign from the UFC later in her career.

Besides, two-time bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw is waiting for his chance to get to the title that he never lost. In addition, the former undisputed and interim bantamweight champion, Petr Yan, also wants his trilogy as he thought he won in their last meeting.

Thus, it would be intriguing to see how the division plays out. Could the Brazilian legend repeat his own success and win the ultimate prize?
