Patrick Williams
Release possible after loss to Luke Sanders
Williams lost to Luke Sanders via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC on FOX 29 on Saturday in Glendale, Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Williams started slowly and finished slowly and he could be looking at a release as a result. A wrestler by trade, Williams looks awkward and uncomfortable on the feet and he spent a good part of Saturday's bout serving as a punching bag for Sanders. The 36-year-old is 1-3 in the UFC and he has just one win in the last four years. There is little reason to keep Williams around at this point.

Finished by elbows at the hands of debuting Tom Duquesnoy
Williams lost to Tom Duquesnoy via TKO (elbows) at 0:28 of Round 2 at UFC on FOX 24 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
The first fight in nearly two years for Williams didn't go well. The solid work that he put forth in Round 1 was negated by his gas tank, or lack thereof. He managed to score two easy takedowns in Round 1 and connect with quite a few big shots, but Williams had his hands on his knees by the end of the first frame and the explosive Duquesnoy took advantage of the opening. It won't happen at the moment, but the 35-year-old should could be looking at a release.
