UFC introduces eight fighters to the official roster

Per the account, the UFC roster has been updated with eight names: Pedro Falcao, Torrez Finney, Daniel Frunza, Luis Gurule, Jack Becker, Kitt Campbell, David Martinez, and Ateba Gautier.

Martinez and Gautier both starred at UFC Mexico City, where they each earned performance bonuses for emphatic knockout victories. Gautier mauled Jose Medina on the prelims, and Martinez knocked out his opponent with a slick right cross.

Falcao, Gurule, Finney, and Frunza are set to appear this weekend at UFC Vegas 105. Campbell and Becker don't have any announced fights, but both hail from Australia and could be late-notice bookings for UFC 314 next week.

The UFC roster hasn't been updated to include Uran Satybaldiev, who was signed on two days' notice to appear at UFC Vegas 105 this weekend.
