UFC releases 13 fight veteran on 3-fight losing streak

The UFC’s string of releases continued this week.

It was announced via Twitter that former TUF competitor, and 13 fight veteran, Daron Cruickshank had been released by the promotion.

Cruickshank broke the news via Twitter.

I've officially been released. It's been a pleasure and privilege to fight for the UFC. I am now currently looking for a fight elsewhere.

Cruickshank has been on quite a losing streak lately. After Defeating Anthony Njokuani back in 2014, an accidental eye poke resulted in his next fight being called a ‘no contest’. Following that, Cruickshank dropped 3 consecutive losses via rear-naked choke to Beneil Dariush, James Krause, and most recently Paul Felder.
