Following his UFC on ABC 4 loss to Tainara Lisboa, Jessica-Rose Clark has parted ways with the promotion, she confirmed Tuesday on Twitter. Rose-Clark, who has been on the roster since November 2017, said she fought out her contract Saturday.
Clark, 35, departs the UFC on three straight losses. She wrote she is planning her next move, but did not shed light on what exactly that may be.
That was the last fight on my contract.
We’ve got plans for the next step and I’m so so excited!
I’ll put a video on IG in the next couple of days once I’ve had a chance to decompress.
Thank you everyone for the constant love and support ❤️ https://t.co/0DyXB3BAX2

No loss is ideal, but the way Ji Yeon Kim’s UFC tenure ended was particularly unfortunate. Kim lost her bout Saturday vs. Mandy Bohm after two point deductions due to fouls – and a technical decision. After the fight, Kim said she fought with a torn ACL.
The split with the UFC marks the end of a near six-year tenure since her UFC debut in June 2017. Kim exits on a five-fight losing skid.
This departure was confirmed by MMA Fighting.
