It seems that an insane amount of heart doesn't necessarily guarantee job security if you can't win fights. After being choked out by Nick Osipczak ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) at the Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) — which followed a TUF 9 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) run where he beat Kiel Reid and Dave Faulkner and lost twice to James Wilks ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) — Frank Lester has been cut by the UFC ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). The Team Quest fighter's pro record dropped to 3-3 after his most recent loss. Godspeed, young shadow-boxer.
Following Lester out of the Octagon are two more fighters known for stepping up but falling short: Mike Ciesnolevicz ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and Tim Boetsch ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). According to MMA Weekly ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), Ciesnolevicz was released from his contract after losing to Tomasz Drwal ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) via first-round TKO at the TUF 9 Finale; the light-heavyweight made his Octagon debut at UFC 95 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), coming in to replace the injured ****** McCully in a heavyweight match against Neil Grove ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), and defeated the much larger South African fighter by heel-hook. Unfortunately, he was bounced after just one loss at his natural weight class.
Boetsch also arrived in the UFC as a late replacement, filling in for Tomasz Drwal at UFC 81 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) on ten days' notice and wrecking David Heath ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). But the UFC lost interest after the Barbarian went 1-2 in subsequent matches, and pink-slipped him after his most recent decision loss to Jason Brilz at UFC 96 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). As with Ciesnolevicz, the UFC didn't wait until Boetsch had lost two in a row to drop him. Harsh.
Wow I didn't think Tim Boestch would get punted
