It took Cindy Dandois more than eight years as a pro to finally reach the UFC, but her dream of competing on MMA’s biggest stage has come to an end after just one octagon appearance.

Dandois (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), a featherweight and bantamweight who’s also a good friend and training partner of former UFC champ Miesha Tate, said she is no longer part of the UFC roster.

“Battlecat” made her lone promotional appearance at UFC Fight Night 108 in April, dropping a unanimous decision to former 135-pound title challenger Alexis Davis in a heavily panned 15-minute affair. She landed 47 significant strikes and landed five takedowns in defeat.

Dandois shared the news of her release on social media and expressed her disappointment in never getting the opportunity to compete against newly crowned UFC women’s featherweight champion Cristiane Justino (via Instagram):

Dandois, 32, said she hopes to find a new home for her career as soon as possible. Prior to joining the UFC roster, she made three Invicta FC appearances.

The Belgian fighter owns career victories over former Invicta FC champ Megan Anderson and former Strikeforce titleholder Marlos Coenen.
