Jason Saggo says he felt ‘expendable’ in the UFC, wants to sign with ONE

Jason Saggo picked up his first win in over two years on Saturday night.

The UFC veteran defeated Adam Assenza in the BTC 4 main event in Peterborough, Ontario, winning the promotion’s lightweight title. Saggo tapped Assenza out with a rear-naked choke late in the first round.

The fight marked Saggo’s first fight since getting released from the UFC last year; the Toronto native went 3-3 in the Octagon, but his tenure ended with two straight losses.

Now back in the winning column, Saggo wants to get back in the big leagues — but not quite where you would perhaps expect.
