"Ultimate Fighter 8" winner Efrain Escudero has been released from the UFC, the first time a winner of the reality show has been released from the organization.
Escudero (13-2, 3-2 UFC) defeated Phillipe Nover at the "Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale" to win the six-figure contract. Escudero then went 2-2 in the UFC, alternating wins and losses.
Most recently, Escudero lost by rear-naked choke submission to Charles Oliveira at "UFC Fight Night: Marquardt vs. Palhares." Escudero weighed in at 159 lbs for the bout, three pounds over the 156 lbs limit.
Note: Travis Lutter, who won "The Ultimate Fighter 4," was also released from the organization, but he had previously competed in the organization before going on the show.
