Max Rohskopf’s UFC debut generated much debate and controversy, and now the lightweight prospect is already out of the promotion.
MMA Fighting confirmed on Wednesday that Rohskopf has been released following his second-round TKO loss to Austin Hubbard at UFC Vegas 4 on June 20th. After a solid opening round, Rohskopf noticeably faded and was getting beaten up in round two, which prompted him to tell his corner to “call it [off].” Robert Drysdale insisted on sending him out there for round three, but when referee Mark Smith came over the coaxing stopped and so did the fight.
