Maurice “The Crotchet Boss” Greene is no longer on the UFC roster.
The heavyweight fighter took to social media on Tuesday evening to announce that he was released from the promotion just days after losing a unanimous decision to Marcos Rogerio de Lima at UFC Vegas 26. In a brief statement posted on Instagram, Greene wrote that he is remaining optimistic despite the release and looks forward to rebuilding under a new banner.
“When one door closes another one opens,” wrote Greene. “I have had ups and downs with the #ufc and today that relationship comes to an end. Look at the bright side I’m still in the best shape of my life. I’m physically and mentally #stronger than ever and the next chapter I am excited for. This game is unforgiving but hey I’m down for the challenge of making my name with a new promotion or the road back. The best is yet to come.”
