Sage Northcutt

[SPX]

So this dude is coming to the UFC. Sage Northcutt. He's 19. And Sherdog, in what I gather is a mixture of tongue-in-cheek joke-hype and legitimate enthusiasm, has been going crazy for the guy.

Anyone heard of him? He went 5-1 as an amateur and is 5-0 as a pro (albeit all but one of those wins are against cans). I think he looks promising. At only 19 he has a lot of time to develop.


Here he is with his UFC contract. . .








Here he is kicking some dude with a side kick. . .








Apparently he used to compete in karate competitions. . .

[SPX]

And he also competes in physique contests. . .








And he's been ripped since he was a little kid. . .








And here's one of his fights. . .

Never heard of him, but he has a marketable look for sure.

[Ludo]

Feed him to Matt Browne like they did Wonderboy.

Yeah, I'm pretty much ready to go ahead and go full on homo for him.

BOL. Wonderboy was already a very experienced full contact kickboxer when he came to the UFC. Let's give this kid some time to develop first.

Although, since you bring up Wonderboy, Northcutt also comes from a sport karate background so a Wonderboy vs Northcutt matchup is very intriguing.

Yes but Browne presents a unique experience for anyone who's relatively new to "the big time" in that he's going to take you to the limit, even if you're beating the shit out of him. It's an important gauge to see what kind of heart and toughness this kid has.

I still say let's give the guy a few softballs first. . . Jesus, you really want him to fight Matt Brown already?

[SPX]

I wonder why kind of PEDs he was on here.

Might as well see what he's made of. They made Rory fight Condit in his second fight in the UFC. Gotta show these guys quickly that it's going to be a whole different can of worms in the UFC. See how they react to the challenge.

Rory was at least 10-0 at that point with a few wins over guys people have actually heard of.

Actually nobody had heard of his opponents to that point, except maybe people who follow the underground canadian MMA scene. Jordan Mein made his debut against Rory, and Guymon made his UFC debut against Rory. Similar positions, really.

LMAO!
