The UFC is a very competitive space. Fighters get a lot of money and fame once they sign a contract with the UFC, but if the athlete doesn’t perform consistently, they are in danger of being axed out. Shamil Abdurakhimov is the latest in the list of removed fighters. Abdurakhimov lost four previous matches and has now been removed from the UFC roster. His last fight was at UFC 283. ‘Abrek’ faced Jailton Almeida and was knocked out in the second round. Fans had some amazing reactions to Abdurakhimov‘s removal from the roster.

Abdurakhimov faced Sergei Pavlovich, Chris Daukaus, and Curtis Blaydes in his last fights. Fans were of the opinion that Abdurakhimov‘s manager may not have done a great job. ‘Abrek’ fought only 4 times in the past four years. He had not tasted victory since April 2019.

Fans give mixed reactions to Abdurakhimov’s exit

Fans always feel sad when their favorite fighters leave the UFC. Abdurakhimov‘s exit drew mixed reactions from fans. One fan commented, “I’ve been a fan since 2019 and only saw him lose to Pavlovich”

A fan felt UFC had too much power over fighters and he commented, “UFC has these guys by the balls especially when they aren’t draws. It’s probably accept this fight 6 weeks from now or get cut. Johnnie fuc**ng Cochran can’t get you off of that train.”
