He was not the only one released as Tim Hague and Phillipe Nover were also dropped. Hague lost in UFC odds against Chris Tuscherer at UFC 109. It was the second straight loss for Hague in UFC betting and a very unpopular one as many in the crowd thought he won. Nover has done nothing in the UFC lately, losing to Efrain Escudero, Kyle Bradley, to Rob Emerson in UFC 109.
