“I just got word from my management team that I’ve been cut by the UFC,” Worthy wrote.
“…One door closes and another one opens, this lion still has the hunger in him, back on the hunt we go.”
Worthy’s Octagon debut came on less than a week’s notice, when he stopped Devonte Smith via technical knockout in the opening round at UFC 241. The Pittsburgh native followed that victory with a third-round submission of Luis Pena at UFC on ESPN 12. Since then, Worthy has suffered three consecutive first-round TKO defeats, falling to Ottman Azaitar, Jamie Mullarkey and Jai Herbert in succession.
Worthy is 16-9 over the course of a professional career that began in 2012.
