UFC Apparently Removes Several Fighters, UFC Bonuses, UFC Female Fighters Beat Up Male Groper

- UFC held a Fight Night event in Brazil this past Saturday, and a couple lucky fighters took home $50,000 bonuses. Rony Jason earned $50,000 for his Performance of the Night bonus, while Nik Lentz also earned a bonus for his part in the evening's "Fight of the Night."

Lentz's opponent Charles Oliveira really cleaned house, dragging in $100,000 for his part of Fight of the Night as well as earning a Performance of the Night bonus. Oliveira has earned nine bonuses throughout his UFC career.

- Several UFC fighter profiles were deleted or set to become inactive today, which is usually an indication that the fighter has been released from the promotion. The names were revealed on the UFC Fighters Info Twitter, which updated when a roster profile is set to become inactive or a weight class change is made. Among those included were #13-ranked flyweight Tim Elliott, who had lost three straight fights in the promotion and had fallen to 2-4 in the UFC overall.

Other deleted names include Tateki Matsuda, Alex Torres, Dylan Andrews, Shane Howell, Rocky Lee, Vik Grujic, Alptekin Ozkilic, and Shayna Baszler. Baszler is a women's bantamweight and made an appearance for Ring of Honor Wrestling earlier this year as ReDRagon's corner woman.

- UFC female fighters Leslie Smith and Heather Jo Clark beat up a male at The Mint in San Francisco after the guy groped Smith's friend. The man spit on Smith and then threw a punch at her, but missed. Smith took him down and landed several elbows as Clark soccer kicked the man in the face. He later apologized.
