Following his UFC 106 loss to heavy underdog Brian Foster, welterweight Brock Larson will now be looking for a new promotion in which to showcase his skills. The Veteran fighter confirmed with MMAJunkie that he was cut by organization following the November 21 loss.
Larson has gone 3-3 in his UFC career, and 2-2 most recently after being brought in from the WEC following the dissolution of their welterweight division. Larson started off his most recent UFC stint with consecutive wins over Jesse Sanders and Mike Pyle. However, he lost his next to fights against Mike Pierce and on Saturday Brian Foster. Following precedent, the UFC cut the fighter following his two consecutive losses.
In speaking with MMAJunkie, Larson blamed a lack of motivation due to being scheduled in undercard fights for his recent lackluster performances.

I hate when people do not give it their all when faced with adversity. He thought he should be the main card so he gave up. If that were me, I would work my butt off to prove that I am worthy. I don’t get his logic. I should be on the main card but I’m not so I will just get beat by randoms. That will show them!
He feels that cause he was a WW contender in the WEC he should be main card. It’s obvious that the WEC guys need to go down a weight class if they are going to compete in the UFC. They tell the fighters in the fighters meeting a good showing in the under card will get 1st pics to be shown if possible. Dana has said on several occasions that if you put on a good show, they will keep you. Personally he always seemed cocky and had a chip on his shoulder.
dana is a two faced liar and i wouldnt believe half of what he says…
if it was about putting on a good show i doubt he would have cut neer who has always been a warrior in the oct and i havent ever seen him put on a bad show…
Brian Foster beat Brock Larson’s a$$.
End of story, and end of Larson in the UFC for the time being.
If its SO important to Larson to fight in the spotlight, then maybe the WEC has a roster spot for him.
If not, I imagine that Strikeforce is hiring.
Smooth move, ex lax…
*WEC [if he drops to 155]
