Stewart Nicoll has been removed from the UFC roster. The departure marks the end of his run with the promotion.
Stewart Nicoll, the Australian flyweight known as "Kakamora," has parted ways with the UFC, with the promotion removing him from its roster as of August 2026.
Nicoll, 31, compiled an 8-4-0 professional record over the course of his career. Fighting out of Broz Martial Arts in an orthodox stance, the five-foot-five, 165-centimeter fighter carried a 65-inch reach and brought a well-rounded ground game to the flyweight division. He averaged 2.82 takedowns per 15 minutes during his time in the promotion, while landing 3.01 significant strikes per minute at a 37 percent striking accuracy rate. Submission attempts were not a feature of his game, with zero recorded per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Nicoll's removal continues the UFC's ongoing roster trimming at flyweight, a division that has historically seen significant turnover
- At 31, Nicoll remains within a competitive age window and is likely to draw interest from other promotions
- His takedown-heavy, orthodox style gives him a marketable profile on the regional and international circuit
