In a single sweep, the organization has released several notable names, including British fan-favorite Molly McCann, Ghana&rsquo;s explosive striker Abdul Razak Alhassan, and Antonina Shevchenko, the lesser-known but equally talented sister of flyweight legend Valentina Shevchenko. Each of these fighters represents a unique story of struggle and the challenging journey of an MMA professional.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Abdul Razak Alhassan, Antonina Shevchenko, and Molly McCann all removed from the UFC active roster.<\/p>&mdash; Borrachinha Depot (@FullContactMTWF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FullContactMTWF\/status\/1904664743425826950?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 25, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/who-is-paddy-pimblett-fighting-next-paddy-pimblett-next-fight-last-fight-mma-record-and-more\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Who Is Paddy Pimblett Fighting Next?

Those performances netted her three consecutive bonuses, cementing her status as a fan-favorite fighter. However, her career wasn&rsquo;t without challenges. Four of her seven UFC losses came by submission, a persistent technical weakness that ultimately contributed to her decision to retire.<\/p><p>Walking away with a 14-8 professional record, McCann embodied the spirit of fighters who compete not just for championships, but for the love of the sport. Her retirement marks the end of an era for British MMA fans who followed her journey from local circuits to the global UFC stage!<\/p><p>This addition completes the narrative of the UFC&rsquo;s recent roster changes, highlighting the personal stories behind the administrative decisions.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33486"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33486"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33522,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33486\/revisions\/33522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
