Adams Released By The UFC Following Loss
Heavyweight Juan Adams’ last stint with the UFC will be remembered as a painful one. The 28-year-old revealed on Instagram that he has been let go by the UFC after five fights with the company.
“Spoke with the manager and I’m not in the ufc anymore. As easy as it would be to give up, I’m going to keep going. I made the changes too late and now i have to pay for that but i have the right pieces in place now. I will continue Hoping and working for the best moving forward.”

Adams (5-3) is coming off of a TKO-loss against Justin Tafa this past weekend at UFC 247. That was his third loss in a row, forcing Dana White’s hand.
After knocking out Shawn Teed in the first round during Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, Adams was invited to fight at UFC on Fox 31 in December of that year. He knocked out Chris de la Rocha in the third round. Since then, he has lost to Arjan Bhullar (unanimous decision), Greg Hardy (TKO) and Tafa.
Adams sent another post online, this time via Instagram. He was grateful for the opportunities he was given with the UFC and is hoping to be back fighting soon.
“There’s still a lot left in me. So wherever the next chance may appear, I am already prepared to do more and be a better version of the fighter I already am… Thank you to everyone at the UFC for making me feel like the main event, no matter where I am on the card.”
