Stewart Nicoll is not expected to have his UFC contract renewed following his appearance at UFC OKC. The promotion appears set to part ways with Nicoll after the fight.
Reports suggest Stewart Nicoll's time in the UFC may be coming to an end, with the promotion not expected to renew his contract following his upcoming bout at UFC OKC.
Nicoll, nicknamed "Kakamora," is a 30-year-old Australian fighter out of Broz Martial Arts. He carries an 8-3 professional record and competes in the Orthodox stance at 165 centimeters tall, with a matching 65-inch reach. Over the course of his UFC tenure, Nicoll has averaged 3.63 significant strikes landed per minute and 1.63 takedowns per 15 minutes, though his striking accuracy sits at 39 percent.
Why it matters
- A departure would end Nicoll's run with the promotion and open questions about his next step as a fighter at 30 years old
- His record and output numbers suggest a competitive fighter who may attract interest from other organizations
- The outcome of the UFC OKC appearance could still factor into how both sides approach any final discussions
It should be noted that this story has not been officially confirmed, and the situation could change before or after the bout takes place.
