Cody McKenzie Released From UFC, Wants Aoki Bout

In another blow to the UFC’s roster, TUF season 12 fighter Cody McKenzie (pictured), recently announced his UFC release through his official twitter account.

The Alaskan native went 3-4 while under the UFC”s employ, most recently dropping an unimpressive bout to Sam Stout on the UFC on FOX 9 card.

Outside of his lackluster record, McKenzie battled with a questionable image that likely did him no favors when the UFC was looking to cut some fat.

At any rate, McKenzie is now on the prowl to get a new fighting home and he’s called out Aoki in the process.
