Keith Jardine and David Loiseau have been released from their UFC contracts. Jardine last fought at “The Ultimate Fighter Season 11” finale, losing to Matt Hamill, while Loiseau dropped a second round TKO stoppage to Mario Miranda at UFC 115.
AOL Fanhouse was the first to report both roster moves. MMAWeekly.com sources have since confirmed the reports.
Jardine (15-8-1) has been a staple of the promotion since emerging during the second season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” His last 13 bouts took place in the Octagon.
Jardine has wins over UFC icons Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin, but has lost seven of his last 11 bouts, including his four most recent bouts.
Loiseau (19-10), despite being just 30 years of age, has been fighting professionally for the past decade. He has been in and out of the UFC over that time. He covets being considered a UFC fighter, but has been unable to sustain any momentum, losing his last four opportunities in the Octagon.
