After 12 years and 28 fights in the Octagon, Gleison Tibau is a free agent and may move onto a different promotion other than the UFC. Tom Lawler. More UFC Fighters are expected to be released in the coming days due to major budget cut in the organization.
The 35-year-old Brazilian has lost his last four in the UFC, he also served a two-year suspension from 2016 to 2018 after testing positive for erythropoietin (EPO) in both in- and out-of-competition drug screenings. He is the only fighter, who made Khabib Nurmagomedov look human by bringing the closely contested fight to a decision, during their clash at UFC 148.
