Sarah Kaufman is a free agent after the UFC did not re-sign her to a new contract, and wherever she lands next, she's plans on changing weight classes.
Not too long after Sarah Kaufman lost to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on FOX 17 in December 2015, the former Strikeforce champion was abruptly removed from the UFC's fighter rankings. As MMA Fighting reported in an interview with Kaufman, the Canadian's contract had expired, and the UFC chose not to renew it after just 1 win in 4 bouts inside the Octagon.
