As many have expected, The Ultimate Fighter 2 winner, Joe Stevenson, has been released by the UFC. Stevenson’s career has taken a marked downhill turn, losing his last four and six of nine since his defeat to B.J. Penn in a bid for the lightweight championship at UFC 80.
Stevenson beat Marcus Davis, Jason Von Flue, and Luke Cummo to win The Ultimate Fighter 2 welterweight tournament. Following a loss to Josh Neer in his first post-TUF fight, Joe dropped to lightweight winning four straight, including wins over Yves Edwards, Kurt Pellegrino and Melvin Guillard, to earn a shot at the vacant lightweight title against B.J. Penn. He mounted little offense against Baby Jay; battered and bloodied, he succumbed to rear-naked choke in the second round.
