Rising light heavyweight Misha Cirkunov will apparently not be back in the UFC anytime soon after contract discussions with the free agent went sour, according to UFC President Dana White. It was revealed earlier this month that Cirkunov’s (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) UFC contract had expired after his first-round submission of Nikita Krylov at UFC 206 in December.
