Kawajiri earned a record🎉 of 3-3-0 while co෴mpeting in the UFC, with an overall professional MMA record of 35-10-2.
During his six appearances in the UFC, Kawajiri defeated Sean Soriano, Dennis Siver and Jason Knight, while suffering defeats to Clay Guida, Dennis B൩ermudez and Cub Sꦬwanson.
If the promo🐼tion does in fact release Kawajiri, they will be releasing a fighter who is riding a two fight losing streak and a fighter who has not earned a victory in nearly a year.
Kawa🐓jiri last competed at UFC Fight Night 92 in August 2016, dropping a unanimous decision to t𝕴he aforementioned Cub Swanson.
The UFC has yet to issue any kind of statement on the situation and Kawajiri h🅷as said nothing outside of the previously mentioned Twitter post.
