Bellator is making some roster moves this week, as MMAFighting.com reports that 13 fighters were released from the organization this week.
At the top of the list is former Light Heavyweight Champion Attila Vegh, along with featherweight tournament winner Shahbulat Shamhalaev, and featherweight tourney finalist Des Green.
Vegh's release comes after his only loss in a Bellator cage, a decision against a man he already beat once before, Emanuel Newton. He leaves Bellator with a 5-1 overall record.
Shamhalaev leaves off back to back submission losses, first to Pat Curran in a title fight last April, then in his return fight this May to Fabricio "Guerreiro."
As for Green, a loss to Daniel Weichel in the season ten featherweight tourney finals brought him to 3-2 in the organization.
