LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 03: UFC president Dana White (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCDana White and his team have dropped dozens of fighters from the roster over the past year, and the signs are usually there before the news hits.After UFC Vegas 102, at least four fighters who lost on Saturday night at the Apex could be in danger of being cut from the roster.Dylan BudkaLAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 15: Dylan Budka has his hands wrapped prior to his fight during the UFC ...

(Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCDespite being just 25 years old, Budka may be at a point in his career where the UFC sees it in his and the promotions best interest to part ways. Budka was on the business end of Edmen Shahbazyans performance-bonus-winning KO on Saturday night.The KO produced Budkas third straight loss, and all of the defeats have come since he earned a contract on Dana Whites Contender Series with a unanimous decision win over Chad Hanekom in September 2023.MORE FOR YOUWith an 0-3 record on the main roster, two of the losses coming by stoppage, and having missed weight ahead of his unanimous-decision defeat to Andre Petroski in September 2024, the writing appears to be on the wall.Budka has time to work on his game, and it might be time for him to do that with a smaller promotion before attempting to return to the UFC.Connor MatthewsLAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 14: Connor Matthews poses on the scale during the UFC Fight Night ... [+] weigh-in at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino on February 14, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCMatthews isnt quite where Budka is, but its close. Hes lost his last two fights, and both have come by stoppage. On Saturday, he was clobbered by the promising Jose Delgado.Matthews is also 32, which means the UFC might not have as much patience with him moving forward. Its been a long road for the Fall River, Massachusetts, native to get to the UFC. He failed in his first attempt to earn a contract on DWCS in August 2022.He won on the regional scene to get another shot on the show and punched his ticket to the main roster with a unanimous decision win over Jair Farias in October 2023. Unfortunately, he has been knocked out by Dennis Buzukja and Delgado since getting to the main roster.While hes older than Budka, it seems like the UFC might give Matthews another fight before releasing him.Vince MoralesLAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 15: Vince Morales prepares to face Elijah Smith in a bantamweight fight ...

The rugged 34-year-old can definitely compete in the UFC. He pushed super-prospect Elijah Smith to the brink on Saturday before losing a unanimous decisionhis second such loss in a row.Before the back-to-back losses to Taylor Lapilus and Smith, respectively, Morales had won five fights in a row. The problem is: none of those fights were in the UFC.Since failing to earn a roster spot on DWCS back in 2018, Morales has had two stints in the UFC. During that time, he has compiled a record of 6-0 outside the UFC, but just 3-8 with the worlds No. 1 promotion.He hasnt won in the UFC since December 2021, when he stopped Louis Smolka. Hes an exciting fighter, which helps, but Id guess hed get one more shot as well before potentially being released.DonTale MayesLAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 15: Don'Tale Mayes has his hands wrapped prior to his fight during the ...

(Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCComing into UFC Vegas 102, Mayes was ranked No. 15, but weve seen the UFC repeatedly release underperforming veteran heavyweights over the past few months.Most recently, the promotion punted on Jairzinho Rozenstruik after a lackluster performance against Sergei Pavlovich on February 1. Rozenstruik was ranked No. 9 when he lost to Pavlovich and was released.Mayes looked dreadful getting submitted via heel hook by Valter Walker on Saturday.The loss was Mayes second in a row and his fourth in the last six fights. The only opponents Mayes has defeated during that stretch are Caio Machado (a released fighter who is currently on a three-fight losing streak) and Andrei Arlovski, a legend fighting well past his prime.Id expect Mayes to be released soon and for Jhonata Diniz or even young heavyweight Tallison Teixeira to take his place in the Top 15 next week.Here is a look at all of the results from UFC Vegas 102.UFC VEGAS 102 MAIN CARD RESULTSJared Cannonier def.
