After a gutty and hard-fought win over Mac Danzig at UFC Fight Night 17: “Lauzon vs. Stephens” earlier this year, 25-year-old mixed martial arts veteran Josh Neer had inked a four-fight contract extension that was expected to keep the lightweight dynamo with the UFC for an additional four fights.
The promotion would only give him two.
After losing to Gleison Tibau at UFC 104: “Machida vs. Shogun,” his second straight loss since the Danzig fight, “The Dentist” has been released from his UFC contract.
Neer rejoined the UFC after posting a 2-3 record in his first run (2005-2006). During his layoff, he won six of seven fights outside the promotion before returning to the Octagon and defeating Din Thomas by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 13. He followed that up with a split decision loss to Nate Diaz, but not before earning “Fight of the Night” in their three-round war at UFC Fight Night 15 back in September.
