WASHINGTON – Liz Carmouche thinks her sudden release from the UFC could have been better handled. An Iraq War veteran in the Marine Corps, Carmouche (13-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) was brought out for UFC DC fight week to serve as a guest fighter in the nation’s capital and to participate in promotional appearances, including a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Friday, in the midst of the fight-week happenings, Carmouche was notified she had been cut from the UFC. The move, she claims, was made a while back, but she was not notified until her management called her Friday. A UFC official told MMA Junkie that matchmakers were not aware Carmouche was in Washington at the time of her release. “I’m a little bit pained,” Carmouche told MMA Junkie.
