Phillipe Nover gets the Axe

by Zak Woods on Feb 10, 2010 4:02 PM EST in News

According to Heavy.com Phillipe Nover has been cut from the UFC.

Nover recently lost to Rob Emerson at UFC 109 and is now 0-3 in the UFC.

Phillipe was the runner-up on season eight of The Ultimate Fighter. During that season, Dana White hyped Nover as the "next Anderson Silva." Sadly, that fighter, let alone a decent lightweight competitor, never materialized.

Nover is the third fighter to be released from the UFC after UFC 109.

Phillipe also suffered a seizure before a scheduled fight at UFC Fight Night 19.

Ah, that's a shame

the guy looked good…for those few weeks….a while back.
At least he’s got the nursing gig to fall back on.

I can’t remember who wrote it, but some dude cracked me up after this last PPV when he said “The next Anderson Silva? This guy’s not even the next Anderson Cooper.”

Pee-pee money is not an employment history.
