Full list of recent cuts here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_UFC_fighters#Recently_released

Rick Story is perhaps the biggest surprise on the list at 19-9 (12-7 UFC), apparently contract negotiations were not going well and the UFC have decided to cut their losses, hopefully he heads over to Bellator when he can vie for the Championship.

Cole Miller (21-11, 10-9 UFC), Elvis Mutapcic (15-5, 0-2 UFC), Maximo Blanco (12-8, UFC 4-6), Misha Cirkunov (13-2, UFC 4-0), Takeya Mizugaki (21-11, UFC 10-9), Erik Perez (17-6, UFC 7-2), Bartosz Fabinski (13-2, UFC 2-0) and Taylor Lapilus (11-2, UFC 3-1) are among the others released.

Rick Story needs some wins outside the UFC if he plants to continue since he gets paid decent money. Cole Miller said months ago he doesn't get along with the UFC and wants to retire. Misha is getting cut over a power move, the UFC is cutting him before he's a household name and can actually demand $$$. A fan hears his name now and immediately thinks "Who?". All of these are about business and the UFC wants the fighters to know who's in charge.

Some of the women may head back to Invicta hoping to get back into the UFC like Angela Hill but I could see some of them heading to Bellator. That's another reason why fighters are heading to Bellator is because Coker has a considerably smaller ego then Dana. It's like I've said, he's a more cool headed promoter as compared to hot headed Dana.
