According to multiple media outlets, Josh "The Dentist" Neer has been released from the UFC as of Friday. Neer, 25-9-1 (4-6 UFC) was on his third run though the UFC, following unsuccessful efforts in 2005 and 2006.
Neer is a tough guy, but has some weknesses that other fighters seem to take advantage of time and time again. Gleison Tibau's wicked takedowns put down Neer over and over, not unlike Kurt Pellegrino performance just months earlier. Neer will probably find a home outside the UFC, though I hope he doesn't end up headlining local shows for $5k a night.

i like neer too but he gets taken down too easily by the better wrestlers and
then he complains on the ground to the referee to stand them up. it’s up to neer to get up from these positions. every fighter you face from here on in will use the same tactic. it’s called strategic fighting. “go after the fighter’s biggest weakness” peace.
