He's not been cut, he's a free agent, they know he's limited right now, if One or whoever can develop him for a few years, they'll try and bring him back. They aren't going to give him a pay rise when they know right now he wouldn't beat anyone in the top 15 and Sage can probably make the same money over in One fighting easier competition, he's still only 22.

Darrion Caldwell (current Bellator BW Champion) Vs Kyoji Horiguchi (former top tier Flyweight in the UFC, with only two losses the last one to Mighty Mouse and is 10-0 since and fought to a decision with Nasakuwa in a Kick boxing match) for the Rizin Bantamweight title at NYE. 

This is the same card Floyd Mayweather Vs Tenshin Nasakuwa fight in a 3 round exhibition boxing match.

Not to mention Horiguchi retired Uncle Creepy, smashing him in just nine seconds!

Looking at his record, it seems he's doing well at 135, which is good - it'd be a shame if it turned out he was like DJ and flyweight was his optimum, which would leave him screwed as regards UFC.

He won Rizins Bantamweight GP but they didn't have top tier Bantamweights in it.

Someone said that BT stop showing the UFC on I think December 5th (and Eleven sports doesn't start until January) but I just seen an advert saying the Holloway Vs Ortega fight on December 8th on BT Sports 3

ONE Championship are still making moves:

Ricardo Lamas had a scary situation recently. He suffered a blot clot (DVT) that he had during his fight with Elkins on the recent Argentina show. He thought it was a calf strain, but apparently it was the result of a drive from Miami to Chicago, followed by flights right after from Chicago to Houston and onwards to Buenos Aires. He's on blood thinners now and can't train until he gets the all clear the clot is gone and he can go off of the thinners.

Came here to post this. What a great fight. Sounds like Bellator have just agreed to let him go for a one fight thing.
