At just 23-years-old, welterweight prospect Sage Northcutt has his whole future ahead of him to become a great fighter.
However, after suffering a brutal knockout loss to kickboxing veteran Cosmo Alexandre at ONE FC: Enter the Dragon, many analysts have been forced to reassess Northcutt’s future as a mixed martial artist.
Alexandre, who KO’d ‘Super’ Sage in just 29 seconds, fractured Northcutt’s face in eight different places and the former UFC fighter was forced to undergo an intensive nine-hour surgery to (literally) rearrange his face.
Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub can’t understand why Northcutt was pitted against a world class kickboxer in his ONE Championship debut and, speaking on a recent episode of the JRE MMA Show, podcast host and veteran UFC commentator Joe Rogan echoed those sentiments and questioned Northcutt’s future in MMA.
