Phenom 19-year-old Sage Northcutt considering time off college to fight full-time in UFC

If you were impressed by Sage Northcutt's debut at UFC 192 (watch the crazy replay here) then it may interest you to know that's not the best version of the 19-year-old. Not even close.

In fact, Northcutt told UFC on Fox's Kenny Florian that what you saw against Francisco Trevino are the efforts of a part-time fighter.

A freshman at Texas A&M, Northcutt doesn't even really have time to train, which has the fighter considering time off school to really devote himself to a full-time camp.

"That might be scary for some people because I think I'll be a totally different animal out there getting to train full-time," he said.
