Alexandr Romanov‘s future with the UFC is uncertain as he has not re-signed with the promotion following his recent unanimous decision win, making him a free agent.
Alexandr Romanov’s future in the UFC? It’s uncertain, even after his recent win. At UFC Edmonton last Saturday, he snagged a unanimous decision victory over Rodrigo Nascimento. But here’s the kicker: that was the final fight on his UFC contract. And guess what? He hasn’t re-signed yet.
The news of his departure from the active roster was first spotted by UFC Roster Tracker. MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin later confirmed it with officials—Romanov and the UFC are no longer a thing. However, don’t count him out just yet; a new contract could still be in the cards. For now, though, he’s free to explore other promotions.
Romanov’s record? Impressive! He’s fought 10 times in the UFC with a solid 7-3 run. The 33-year-old Moldovan burst onto the scene with a perfect 5-0 start, finishing four opponents along the way. Big wins against Blagoy Ivanov, Juan Espino, and Marcos Rogerio de Lima helped him climb the ranks. But recently? Just 2-3 in his last five bouts.
So, what’s next for Romanov? Only time will tell.
