By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief Coming off of his decision loss to Yushin Okami at UFC 92, Dean Lister has requested, and received, his release from the promotion, according to a report from MMAWeekly.com. The report states that Lister requested the release so he could seek a new deal with a different promotion for 2009, and he's already been in talks with both DREAM and Affliction for that purpose. The report also states that Lister is eying a fight against someone like "Jacare" Souza or Jorge Santiago.
Lister was 4-2 in his UFC career, with his only losses coming at the hands of Okami and Nate Marquardt.
