After a six-fight stint in the world's top promotion and just a year removed from an impressive three-fight win streak in the organization, Tomasz Drwal (17-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) now finds himself a free agent. UFC officials cut ties with him after this past week's UFC Fight Night 22 loss to Dave Branch, the fighter's camp today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Drwal is now looking to get another fight "as quickly as possible," a representative said.
Drwal, a Polish fighter, signed with the UFC in 2007 after posting a solid 14-1 mark in variety of European organizations.
The 28-year-old got a tough assignment in his UFC debut in perennial contender Thiago Silva and fell victim to a second-round TKO. However, he then rebounded for knockout wins over Ivan Serati and Mike Ciesnolevicz, and after a drop from light heavyweight to middleweight, extended his win streak to three with a submission win over Drew Mcfedries.
But earlier this year, Drawl suffered a heel-hook submission loss to Rousimar Palhares (who was suspended 90 days for failing to quickly release the hold) at UFC 111 and then the unanimous-decision loss to Branch at the Sept. 15 UFC Fight Night 22 event.
Drwal will continue splitting his training between his gym in Poland and the Throwdown Elite Training Center in San Diego.
