Instead of writing my ASP.NET C# applications in Visual Studio, I used my favourite text editor UltraEdit32.
Is there anyway I can implement MVC without the use of VS?

Assuming you have the correct assemblies and a C# compiler you in theory can use whatever you want to edit the code and then just run the compiler by hand or using a build script. That being said it is a real pain doing .NET development without Visual Studio/SharpEdit/Monodevelop in my opinion.
There is nothing VS specific with the MVC framework - it is just a bunch of DLLs that you can use. The wizards in VS just build you a quick-start framework.
ASP.NET MVC is "bin-deployable" - there is nothing too clever to set up on the server either - just point the wildcard ISAPI filter to ASP.NET
Even if you didn't want to actually edit in VS, you could create the project there and edit the files in another editor.
Here is a great example of the MVC pattern implemented using .NET 2.0.. http://mudabone.com/?page%5Fid=335. This doesn't use the ASP.NET MVC Framework libraries, but does implement the MVC pattern.
