UFC parts ways with 3 fighters, including one who recently missed weight by 8 pounds

Antonio Trocoli and Bruna Brasil are no longer on the UFC roster after losing their recent bouts earlier this month, sources confirmed to MMA Fighting. Luana Carolina was also removed from the roster after a bad weight miss in London. Trocoli (12-7, 1 no contest) went winless in four UFC appearances, the latest one being a unanimous decision loss to Mantas Kondratavicius.

The 35-year-old was stopped by Shara Bullet, Tresean Gore and Mansur Abdul-Malik between 2024-25. “Malvado” had his sole octagon victory overturned in 2019, seeing his Dana White’s Contender Series submission over Kenneth Bergh become a no contest due to a drug test failure. Carolina (11-5) was expected to be on the same card but let go by the UFC after a massive 8-pound weight miss that led to the cancellation of her bantamweight clash with Melissa Mullins.

“Dread” had an positive record in the promotion with six victories in 10 appearances but failed to make weight multiple times in the past. The 32-year-old was on a three-fight winning streak over Ivana Petrovic, Julija Stoliarenko and Lucie Pudilova before losing to Michelle Montague in September 2025. Brasil (11-7-1) was one of the first members of The Fighting Nerds to enter the promotion in 2022 but left with a 3-5 UFC record following a decision loss to Alexia Thainara this past weekend in Seattle.

Seven of her eight UFC bouts ended via decision.
