Bogatov has been released from the Ultimate Fighting
Championship after just one appearance with the Las Vegas-based
promotion.
Tass was first to
report the news. Bogatov dropped a unanimous verdict to Leonardo
Santos in his Octagon debut at UFC 251 on July 11 in Abu Dhabi.
Bogatov twice nailed his opponent with low blows before receiving a
two-point deduction from referee Marc Goddard
for an illegal knee.
Bogatov would go on to lose the fight by a trio of 29-26 tallies on
the judges’ scorecards, his first defeat in 11 professional bouts.
The 29-year-old Russian was a former lightweight champion in the
M-1 Global organization.
