Hague was next scheduled to face Chris Tuchscherer on February 6, 2010 at UFC 109: Relentless. Tuchscherer was coming off a disappointing loss at the hands of Gabriel Gonzaga, where Tuchscherer was viciously kicked in the groin, yet continued anyways, only to be defeated. The bout made it to the judges decision, where Tuchscherer's superior wrestling handed Hague a loss by Decision (Majority), as two judges ruled in favor of Tuchscherer and the other ruled it a Draw.
After the loss to Tuchscherer, Hague was released by the UFC. He released the following message on his Facebook account:
- "Tim “The Thrashing Machine” Hague was released from the UFC… Time to train harder, beat up some more people and work back to the big show!"
