According to multiple reports, veteran middleweight Denis Kang has been released from his UFC contract following his second-round TKO loss to Michael Bisping at UFC 105, officially making him the UFC's Biggest Bust of 2009. Once considered a top-ten middleweight due to his impressive performances in PRIDE and Spirit MC — including an epic 23-fight stretch in 2003-2006 where he didn't lose a single match — Kang has now lost five of his last nine attempts, including two out of three in the UFC.

Other recent UFC firings include...

Roli Delgado: The TUF 8 vet submitted John Polakowski in his official UFC debut, but then lost back-to-back contests against Paul Kelly and Andre Winner (at UFC 105), dropping his UFC record to 1-2.

Jason Dent: His armbar loss to George Sotiropoulos at UFC 106 gave the TUF 9 castmember an overall Octagon record of 1-3, and made him a two-time UFC castoff.

Brock Larson: The former WEC standout entered the UFC with back-to-back first-round submissions over Jesse Sanders and Mike Pyle, but then lost consecutive fights to Mike Pierce and Brian Foster (at UFC 106).

Kang, unfortunately as one of my favorite fighters, has not performed well lately. Strikeforce?

Baroni doesn't fight at 185 anymore. He fights at 170. But I agree. They keep less talented figters and keep who they think is a big draw. Like Tito.
