Speaking on MMA on Sirius XM, Vannata has come forward to reveal that he has not renewed his contract with the UFC. Rather, the fighter is currently a free agent.
“Currently, right now, I’m a free agent,”” Vannata said. “That was the last fight of my contract. So I don’t know. We’ll see where the wind takes us. We’ve got a lot of talking to do, a lot of discussing to do, and negotiations, and we’ll see what happens.
