It seems that Dequan Townsend's adventure in the Ultimate Fighting Championship has come to an end, for now.

The UFC has terminated Townsend's deal after his four-bout skid. MMA Fighting first reported the news.

Townsend (21-12) joined the UFC after winning the Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting middleweight and Total Warrior Combat light heavyweight titles. In his promotional debut, he was crushed by Dalcha Lungiambula at the 0:42 mark in the third stanza of their 205-pound encounter at UFC on ESPN 3.
