Efrain Escudero (14-2) will look to go 2-0 since his release from the UFC when he faces Jeremy Larsen (6-1) in the main event of Rage in the Cage 148 on Jan. 29. The fight will be contested at 165 pounds.

Efrain Escudero didn’t dance around his reasons for deciding to sign with Shine Fights after being cut by the UFC following his most recent loss.
“I was offered pretty good money and for [a contract] that wasn’t for more than one year,” Escudero told MMA Fighting on Wednesday afternoon. “Eventually I want to make my run back to the UFC and prove to Dana White and everybody else that I can do the job they hired me to do.”
The chance to sign a year-long, three-fight deal rather than get locked down in a longer agreement played a major role in his decision-making process, said Escudero, who described the decisions facing him after his release from the UFC following a loss to Charles Oliveira in Sepember as “very difficult.”
“Why they released me, I have no idea,” Escudero said. “Do I feel bad? Yes, I feel bad. But I have to put it aside. We don’t live in the past.”

Former UFC lightweight Efrain Escudero has signed a multi-fight contract with Shine Fights, the organization announced Wednesday.
“Going to Shine is the first step to becoming a world champion. As far as my career goes, things happen, and I don’t live in the past. I’m excited to get this show in [sic] the road … Shine, here I come,” Escudero stated in the release.
The organization didn’t release a date for Escudero’s debut or terms of the deal.
The 24-year-old Mexican-born fighter was released from the UFC following his September loss to Charles Oliveira. After defeating Phillipe Nover in December 2008 to win The Ultimate Fighter, Escudero’s record was 2-2 inside the Octagon.

Todd Duffee heard the rumors about a week before he heard the official word. There was chatter around the gym that he might be cut from the UFC. Fighters he knew who were under contract to other organizations started reaching out to him on behalf of their employers.
“I guess they had heard I’d already been cut,” Duffee said. “That was the first I’d heard of it.”
At first, he thought it was a joke. He’d suffered the first loss of his career at UFC 114 in May. Now it was early September. He felt sure these were just rumors, idle locker room gossip. Then he heard from his manager that the rumors were true, and that the UFC was releasing him from his contract.
“I thought it was a joke at first,” he said. “I mean, they’re not cutting me off one loss. They don’t do that. It didn’t make sense to me.”

MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani spoke to Dana White ahead of UFC 119 this weekend in Indianapolis and besides the match-ups on the card the UFC president spoke about all of the hot topics on the minds of fans and pundits alike including his take on Sonnengate, if he feels there is a PED problem in MMA and why he cut Todd Duffee and Efrain Escudero.
Here’s what the baldfather had to say:
About Sonnen’s current mental state and whether or not he will support his appeal:
"I’ve spoken to him a couple of times. I saw him at the opening of the UFC gym in Los Angeles and then I talked to him yesterday I think. He’s in a really good place. Listen, there’s more to this story than meets the eye and it will all come out in the athletic commission hearing. People look at me and they say, ‘You’re the commissioner of this thing.’ No, no, no. The way that this works is, the athletic commission oversees us. Every time these guys step in and compete, the athletic commission drug tests them and everything else. Everyone thinks that ‘Dana White has the commission in his hand,’ but the commission doesn’t give a shit what I think, what I have to say — nothing. You’re dealing with the government. That’s like thinking that Dana White can tell the IRS what to do. That’s never going to happen. So, Chael is gonna have to go in front of the commission and we’re going to have to wait and see how this thing plays out."
