UFC Cuts Shem Rock and Veteran Pedro Munhoz in Latest Roster Update

The moves highlight roster pruning that factors results alongside behavior.

Overview

  • Promotional officials confirmed both fighters’ exits after a roster-watch post flagged the changes.
  • Shem Rock went 0-2 in the promotion with decision losses to Nurullo Aliev and Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady.
  • After the London defeat, Rock threw a punch at Al-Selwady after the horn following tense weigh-ins.
  • Pedro Munhoz requested his release earlier this month after three straight losses and leaves after 22 UFC bouts with multiple bonuses.
  • Munhoz is poised to explore free agency as Rock’s next step remains unclear, reflecting broader April roster trimming by the UFC.
