If you think about it, houston was looking at being a mid-level ufc fighter at best for the rest of his career. He'd be lucky to even stay in the ufc much longer. He wasn't going to get many more big pay-days and obviously wasn't getting a title shot. He is like 36 years old and he has kids. The guy probably just made a business decision.
Either that happened or the guy just said "fuk the ufc" and was pissed at them for some reason.
