Khama Worthy Confirms UFC Release: ‘This Lion’s Still Got The Hunger In Him’
Khama Worthy has been released by the UFC.
The 34-year old lightweight has been cut from the promotion following three consecutive stoppage losses following a 2-0 start to his UFC career.
Worthy took to Instagram to make the announcement:
“I just got word from my management team that I’ve been cut from the UFC.
I just wanted to thank the @ufc and @danawhite for the amazing opportunity!
@iridiumsportsagency and my man @jasonkhouse you guy’s helped me change my life and I can’t thank you enough for that. To of my loyal fans in Pittsburgh and all over the word, I thank you so much for all the support and love.
One door closes and another one opens, this lion still got the huger in him back on the hunt we go!! #teamdeathstar #positivevibesonly”
After a 2-0 start to his promotional tenure, Worthy was stopped in the first-round by Ottman Azaitar, followed by another pair of first-round stoppages to Jamie Mullarkey and, most recently, Jai Herbert, last month.
