Even though I'm sure the UFC would love to save money on CroCop's contract, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't release him due to the Couture situation. They want to control every angle with Couture and it may open a new can of worms to authorize one fighter's release, but not another.
I hope it's not true. The UFC HW division is getting weaker by the minute and this would also hurt CroCop's image if he quit before trying to overcome his challenges in the octagon.
