Brian Kelleher considering testing free agency rather than signing extension with UFC

With just four months remaining in 2020, Brian Kelleher has come to the end of a UFC contract that he signed at the beginning of the year.

“Boom” is one of two fighters to make four UFC appearances in 2020 (the other being strawweight Hannah Cifers), and he’s gone 3-1 during that span. According to Kelleher, he has one fight remaining on his current deal, which he hopes to complete shortly.

The other option is to work out an extension with the promotion he’s called home since June 2017. But Kelleher is contemplating dipping his toes into free agency now that he’s built a name for himself inside the octagon.
