Following a conversation with former UFC welterweight contender Jon Fitch, The Fight Network has learned that other American Kickboxing Academy fighters are on their way out of the promotion. 

According to a heated Fitch, heavyweight sensation Cain Velasquez and welterweight star Josh Koscheck will be next to go following their upcoming bouts. Koscheck, who is coming off a loss to Thiago Alves, will meet Yoshiyuki Yoshida in the main event of the "UFC Fights for the Troops" card on Dec. 10.

Fitch expressed anger over being released for standing up for his principles when he refused to sign over lifetime rights to his name and likeness for the purpose of video games. He said he always came in shape to fight, while many others tested positive for steroids and were still brought back.
