ONE strikes again.
Sage Northcutt is the latest UFC fighter to depart the UFC for Asia’s ONE Championship, the promotion’s CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced Friday on Twitter. Northcutt was a free agent from the UFC and has now signed with ONE, which has been a red-hot destination of late for fighters.
Northcutt will join a pair of former UFC champions — Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez — in ONE Championship. Johnson was brought over in a trade with the UFC in exchange for Ben Askren, while Alvarez signed last month with ONE as a free agent.
