Hype train: Florian says Sage Northcutt could be GSP times 10, Van Damme movie star

Kenny Florian seems to believe the hype surrounding 19-year-old UFC prospect Sage Northcutt.

Sage Northcutt quickly won his UFC debut against Francisco Trevino, after he took advantage of an ill-timed slip with a barrage of strikes that forced Herb Dean to stop the fight. It was an impressive showing, one that builds up even more notoriety for the 19-year-old former Karate champ.

Kenny Florian seems to be one of those already believing in the hype just 57 seconds into Northcutt's UFC career.

"Talk about potential. Talk about dollar signs," Kenny said on the Anik and Florian podcast, as transcribed by MMA Fighting.
