Marc Diakiese on Sage Northcutt: ‘He’s probably asking Mr. Faber if he should take the fight’

Marc Diakiese wants a lightweight showdown with Sage Northcutt at international fight week.

“The Bonecrusher” has been petitioning for a fight with “Super Sage” following the 21-year-old’s controversial victory over Thibault Gouti at UFC Fight Night 126 in Austin last weekend.

Although Diakiese agreed with a lot of people who thought Gouti did enough to win the fight, he thinks that a matchup between him and Northcutt makes a lot of sense.

“I think it would be a good fight,” said Diakiese.

“He’s on a two-fight win streak, and I’m on a two-fight losing streak.
