Gokhan Saki has been released by the UFC and it looks the kickboxing legend might be headed back to his roots.

Beyond Kickboxing reported that Saki had been cut by the promotion via a tweet. The former Glory light heavyweight champion went 1-1 inside the Octagon, last competing against Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 226 and getting finished via a TKO in just the first two minutes of the bout. 

Saki who has nearly 100 kickboxing matches, hinted at a return to the ring posting a tweet to his Twitter account with a picture from his fight at Glory 11 against current Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and asking fans who they would like to see him face next.
