Following his loss at UFC 121 to Brendan Schaub last Saturday night, UFC Heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga took to Twitter today to announce his release from the UFC promotion: “Official now – Out of UFC – Thanks for all your support – back to normal life and BJJ forever.” The 31 year old Brazilian joined the UFC in 2005, when he went on 4 fight winning streak leading to his Heavyweight title shot against Randy Couture. Gonzaga loss to Couture in the third round due to TKO. From there Gonzaga never found his winning stride and his UFC career was filled with highs and lows and a few too many lows as he lost his last two fights leading to his contract release. Unlike Patrick Cote yesterday, Gonazaga has not stated he will “be back.”
