UFC, Gina Mazany part ways after back-to-back losses

Gina Mazany is no longer on the UFC roster.

A four-fight UFC veteran, Mazany (5-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) has parted ways with the promotion after back-to-back losses.

MMA Junkie confirmed the news with a person close to the situation. However, it’s not clear whether the women’s bantamweight fighter was cut from the promotion or if her contract expired.

Mazany already has been booked for her next fight. She takes on Valerie Barney (5-1 MMA) at King of the Cage: Golden Fights in Grand Junction, Colo.

Mazany burst into the national spotlight on Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” She was eliminated by eventual tournament winner Julianna Pena in the first round of fights.

After she returned to the regional scene and picked up another victory, Mazany signed with the UFC in early 2017. Taking her UFC debut on short notice, Mazany was submitted in 74 seconds by former title challenger Sara McMann.

In her sophomore outing, Mazany picked up her lone UFC win: a unanimous decision nod against Yanan Wu.

Mazany fought once in 2018 and once in 2019. She lost a decision to Lina Lansberg at UFC Fight Night 130, then was finished by strikes by Macy Chiasson in March at UFC 235.

Mazany is the girlfriend of former UFC title challenger and current UFC flyweight Tim Elliott.
