After a big slew of roster cuts in October, the UFC's wave of pink slips subsided during November and in early December. However, that has changed within the past few days, as three fighters are confirmed to be no longer in the UFC, and all of them are in the lighter weight divisions.

The most notable cut is England's Vaughan Lee (14-11-1), who lost to Patrick Holohan by unanimous decision in his flyweight debut back in July. Lee went 3-5 in the UFC, with his biggest win coming via 1st round armbar against Kid Yamamoto at UFC 144. That said, inconsistent results have been a problem for the 33-year-old inside the Octagon, and he'd never recorded consecutive wins. Lee will be fighting Rakhman Dudaev this weekend in Russia.

Also gone is bantamweight Hugo Viana (8-3), one of the original cast members on season 1 of TUF Brazil. Viana competed as a 145er on the show and won his official debut at a 150 lbs catchweight vs. John Teixeira. The Brazilian soon dropped to 135, where he sensationally KO'd Reuben Duran in December 2012. Unfortunately for him, he's dropped 3 of his last 4, albeit with two of those defeats coming against Aljamain Sterling and T.J. Dillashaw. Viana's last fight was a unanimous decision loss to Guido Cannetti at UFC 190. "The Wolverine" will return to action at RFA 34 next month.

The last confirmed cut is Alan Omer (18-5), a featherweight who failed to record a win in either of his UFC bouts. Omer, a native of Iraq who trains and lives in Germany, lost his debut to Jim Alers at UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi in April 2014. The 27-year-old didn't appear again until UFC Fight Night in Berlin in June 2015, when he faced late-notice replacement Arnold Allen. After winning the first two rounds, Omer was submitted via guillotine choke with just over 3 minutes left in the final round. GnP.de confirmed the news in an interview with Omer.

In total, the combined UFC records of Lee (3-5), Viana (3-3), and Omer (0-2) is 6-10. Just as an interesting footnote, UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw fought (and obviously) beat both Lee and Viana in the span of less than a year.
